‘I’m not impressed with Kai Havertz so far,’ he told Lord Ping. ‘He’s done nothing since he joined Arsenal. 

‘He may have scored, but that was only because Martin Odegaard let him take a penalty! Havertz hasn’t done anything yet, and I think he’s in trouble.’

Gallas believes Arsenal should have spent big on a goalscorer this summer, with Havertz struggling to find the back of the net regularly to take the club to the next level. 

‘I don’t think Arsenal should have signed Kai Havertz. I think that was a mistake. If you spent £60million on a striker, you expect them to score at least 15 goals in a season! I don’t think that’ll happen,’ he added.

‘Arsenal don’t have time! The season may be long, but clubs need results straight away. Havertz was at Chelsea for three years and knows the Premier League well. 

‘It may take a while to settle into a new team, but he already lived in London! Players need to adapt immediately – they don’t have time.’
