SOME impatient Arsenal supporters are already turning on Kai Havertz and believe that academy product Ethan Nwaneri is better.
The German international forward, 24, sealed a £65million move from Chelsea to Arsenal earlier this month.
Arsenal supporters got their first look at Kai Havertz last night
Not many were convinced by his display in midfield
It has since been revealed that he is now the highest-paid player at the Emirates.
Arsenal fans saw Havertz for the first time as the Premier League runner-up drew 1-1 with Nurnberg last night to get back into the game before the big game next month.
It quickly became evident that the reports that he had been recruited as Granit Xhaka’s urgent midfield replacement were true when he came on as a substitute in the second half.
Although Havertz was positioned on the left side of the midfield, some of the onlookers who were Arsenal supporters were unconvinced.
Some even contend that Nwaneri, 16, who made Premier League history last season when he was substituted against Brentford at the age of just 15 years, 181 days, is a better option.
Nwaneri has a great performance
“Havertz looks absolutely lost,” declared one while another said that: “Havertz in midfield, early signs aren’t promising.”
“What is Havertz’s role,” asked another Gooner watching on.
While another tweeted: “Nwaneri is better than Havertz.”
After a screenshot of some of the concerned tweets from Gooners went viral, chewy Chelsea fans could not wait to stick the boot on.
“Nah man this is too funny,” said one.
Another Arsenal supporter had wrote: “Havertz is ineffective on the left midfield. That’s not his position.”
And that led to a response from a Blue that read: “Stage one of the Havertz cycle and its only pre-season.”
The Gunners now fly to Washington on Sunday for a three-match tour of the USA.
