After Arsenalâs narrow 0-1 victory against Wolves yesterday, Mikel Arteta has made a bold statement, expressing his frustration with one of his players following a performance he deemed unacceptable. The match, which saw Arsenal narrowly escape with three points despite a red card situation, has left the manager questioning the reliability of Kai Havertz.
Arteta did not hold back in his post-match comments, saying, âI cannot work with him anymore. He is going to cost us the league if we continue to rely on him.â The managerâs dissatisfaction stems from Havertz missing two clear chances to extend Arsenalâs lead, moments that could have put the game beyond Wolvesâ reach.
Havertzâs performance, which earned a poor rating, has been widely criticized by fans and analysts alike. Many feel that his inconsistency has become a recurring issue in crucial matches.
Artetaâs comments reflect growing concerns about the playerâs contribution to the team, with the manager appearing to lose patience.
Arsenal supporters are now speculating about Havertzâs future at the club, especially with the January transfer window approaching.
As the Gunners remain in contention for the Premier League title, Artetaâs decision to call out the player publicly signals a potential shake-up in the squad as the manager aims to avoid any further setbacks in their title pursuit.
