'I am not a big fan' - Kai Havertz told he 'isn't that strong' as Emmanuel Adebayor fires 'villain' warning to in-form Arsenal star

Premier League

Arsenal

Everton

Haverrtz has been in superb form during Arsenal's recent matches, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-tottenham-kai-havertz-david-raya/blt2d88c7c279080963" target="_blank">notably scoring in the North London Derby victory</a> against Tottenham Hotspur and also netting a brace against <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-vs-chelsea-ben-white-kai-havertz-martin-odegaard/blt9054970aaf938165" target="_blank">Chelsea during the 5-0 rout</a>. Despite his contributions, Adebayor believes that Havertz's overall strength and effectiveness in leading the line for a club like Arsenal are questionable.

WHAT HAPPENED?

In an interview with <a href="https://www.premierleague.com/video/single/3988490" target="_blank">Premier League Productions</a>, Adebayor remarked: "He has adapted well, but I am not a big fan of the player. He isn’t that strong and when you are playing up front for a team like Arsenal. First and foremost, you have to be strong and you have to be clever. He’s a very good player with the feet."Football is a game, whenever you score, you are the hero and when you don’t score, then you are the villain. If he doesn’t score and Arsenal ends up losing, then the fans won’t be happy about it. But if he manages to score a goal and get a win for his team, as he is doing at the end of the season for his team, then he will be the hero."

WHAT ADEBAYOR SAID

Adebayor remains uncertain about Arsenal's prospects of clinching the Premier League title, with the Gunners locked in an intense battle with Manchester City to conquer England.When asked to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cesc-fabregas-arsenal-kai-havertz-verdict/blt8295ada438c34e71" target="_blank">predict Arsenal's fate this season, </a>the former striker said: "With Arsenal, anything is possible. We all know how good they can play and this team is very humble and talented. If you ask me now if I am sure they are going to get nine points out of nine, I am not sure. With them, anything can happen."We saw it a couple of weeks ago against Aston Villa and we all thought they would win that game. If you ask me if I think Man City can win the next 20 games, I would tell you with confidence: yes. Don't get it twisted, Arsenal are looking better and stronger and they have gained experience. They have the personality and character."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

According to a supercomputer from BETSiE, City are edging Arsenal in the title race with a win probability of 53.2%. Whereas, Arsenal remain second best with a probability of 46.6%.

DID YOU KNOW?

Havertz will be eager to prove his critics wrong by continuing his scoring streak in Arsenal's final three fixtures against Bournemouth, Manchester United and Everton. With the season reaching its climax, Arsenal's fate hangs in the balance, with each match presenting an opportunity for redemption or disappointment in their quest for Premier League glory.
