Merson compares Havertz to Ozil in new verdict on £65m Arsenal star
The £65m summer time signing has endured a difficult start to life with the Gunners, working in a deeper function to the one he occupied with Chelsea.
Havertz is but to completely persuade below Mikel Arteta however the Arsenal supervisor has stressed the German international will improve as he will get to grips along with his new place.
Fabio Vieira, in the meantime, has impressed throughout his cameo appearances this season, whereas the likes of Emile Smith Rowe supply additional competitors.
Havertz proved a divisive determine in direction of the back-end of his time at Chelsea too however former Gunners star Merson believes the “cream will rise to the top.”
“I feel for Kai Havertz. He’s playing in a position where it’s not easy,” he informed Sky Sports.
“He hasn’t played very well.
“Mikel Arteta will stick with him. He’s low on confidence but Arsenal have won three and drawn one. You’ve paid that money and put yourself out there to go and get him.
“The cream rises to the top. I’m a big fan but I did say when he got signed, he has got that look of Mesut Ozil about him.
“That’s the problem. If it isn’t going well, he doesn’t look too interested. That’s not the case – it just comes across like that.”
