Chelsea fans don't agree with you
Then why does the discourse: "Arsenal needs a striker" exist? It would have been great if you compared him to Muller & G. Jesus.
Genuinely curious, why wasn’t he able to find this form at Chelsea?
Still begs the question. Why has he been a success at Arsenal but he wasn’t at Chelsea playing the same position?
I think he’s just good enough to capitalise on the insanely good service all around him to be able to score.
Yep, Chelsea are just cursed
yep salah is striker. thats one way to lose credibility. u should compare him to haalandd or smth…
also its nice to take those statistics where he was amazing, like "i was in top 11" why not say top 10? type a thing
Is salah a striker? No
How many goals will Kai Havertz score this season? 👇
Salah is not a Striker
Never say never
only taking up a particular period to make Havertz look good is crazy
Did anyone see the shortened version of the title which said "Why Kai Havertz is much better than you…" 😂
60 millions down the drain, KAI HAVERTZ SCORES AGAIN❤🤍
absolute nonsense
Didn’t see that shi in the euros
Why does this guy talk like he's speaking to a group of toddlers?
Might be the next Muller but with less finishing traits
Nonesense ! Last season he had 14 goals while Salah had 19 and Watkins 17. Plus he was not injured while Salah and Watkins were. Smh
Loved this guy since he came
Gooners!!
This guys hands man
Did you know… that you can get medicine to stop your hands from doing that? Such rigid fingers…
His positioning 🗿
His finishing 🤡
Been telling people that we need a wide forward more than a 9. Kai Havertz has shown that we dont need a striker specifically. We need and elite wide forward that can play across the front three.
What nonsense.
Salhouse out scores him EVERY SEASON, and will do again this season.
If Arsenal had signed Watkins or Toney last January and they put up the exact same numbers as Havertz, no one would be saying that Arsenal need a new striker.
I don’t think havertz is the issue with our front line we just are lacking some sort of forward who steps up in the big games, idk if that means Saka and Havertz will step up more this season or if Martinelli will come back into form or if we need a new signing come January but it’s apparent that volume of goals isn’t the issue but when the goals happen
Havertz is Firmino regen..I talk about this since his Chelsea day
He still needs 10 attempts to score one…
Terrible player
He aint 25😂
My guy. You need to brush your teeth
Plus he gets away with shitty fouls without getting bookes
Basically pre-2018 Benzema
I hope so 😢
Iron your shirt
Another example of statistics showing you something that your eyes are telling you isn’t there. Havertz is a skillful attacking mid/forward but he’s not and never will be a great CF.
He can't even score a 1-1
Nah….halland will win
And he can play LB 😂
