Arsenal Boss Urged to Drop Star Who Is ‘Nowhere Near World-Class’

Arsenal have been told that they need to replace Kai Havertz, as he is ‘nowhere near world-class’ and incapable of leading the Gunners to the Premier League title.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is facing increasing pressure to find a replacement for Kai Havertz, as concerns grow over the Gunners’ Premier League title chances. Former Arsenal star William Gallas has voiced his doubts about Havertz’s ability to lead the team to a league title, describing the German forward as “nowhere near world-class”.

Havertz, who joined Arsenal from Chelsea in a £65m deal last summer, initially struggled to make an impact but eventually became a key player for Arteta’s squad. However, his form has dipped recently, with his only goal since October coming in a Carabao Cup match against Championship side Preston.

Gallas has urged Arsenal to consider signing Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, to bolster their attacking options.

Speaking to Genting Casino Gallas said ‘Kai Havertz has never ever been the right man to take Arsenal to the Premier League title,’

‘Havertz is a good player, but he’s not top class. I’m sorry, but he’s nowhere near a world-class level, Arsenal need a player to replace him at striker.

‘I still don’t understand why Victor Osimhen is at Galatasaray, he needs to play in the Premier League and he can play at the top level at Arsenal.

‘It’s difficult to understand football sometimes, he played really well at Napoli, then made a move to Galatasaray, who are a big club but he needs to be playing at a higher level.

‘Arsenal need a striker like Osimhen, the club needs to wake up, it’s obvious and simple, they need a striker.

‘You need a strong squad to compete with each other, that’s how Man City and Liverpool stay at such a high level, if you have the same starting XI every week then the performances level will drop.

‘All the Man City players are international players and even the ones on the bench, that’s the level Arsenal need to reach.’ Gallas added.
