Former Liverpool man Steve Nicol, has said that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta might regret signing Kai Havertz from Chelsea.
According to the Liverpool legend, that Germany international who moved to Arsenal from Stamford Bridge last week, will not score 18 goals for Arteta’s side next season.
“He is not getting 18 goals. I would love to see how he gets all these assists and goals because I am not sure he starts,” Nicol told ESPN.
“There is no way [Gabriel] Jesus doesn’t start, right?! The front three is set. If [Kai] Havertz, in his first game, if he does start in the middle, has a shocker, then you might never see him again.
“Arteta might go ‘you know what, I have made a big mistake. This is not going to work’”.
The German forward helped the Blues win the Champions League, Club World Cup and European Super Cup between 2021 and 2022.
