Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard have shared penalty duties so far this season, but Kai Havertz was handed the ball when Arteta's men got a second penalty early in the Premier League match against Bournemouth.
The German international was mobbed by his teammates in celebration after he coolly slotted into the bottom corner. But the 25-year-old is struggling to make an impact for the Gunners. Former Arsenal defender William Gallas spoke about his performance as Mikel Arteta's new reinforcement.+
"I’m not impressed with Kai Havertz so far. He hasn’t done anything yet, and I think he’s in trouble. I don’t think Arsenal should have signed him. I think that was a mistake. If you spent £60 million on a striker, you expect them to score at least 15 goals in a season! I don’t think that’ll happen.
"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," he said.
