Micah Richards has high praise for Kai Havertz after recent Arsenal form

Speaking about Havertz on , Richards🥂 lauded the former Chel🐻sea star.

“I thought he was always a clever player, wasn’t he? Really skilful, great touch, but I think what us 🍬pundits, media, was talking about maybe some of the chances as well that he use🐭d to miss, but now he seems to be taking those chances a lot more,” Richards said.

“He has always been a good player, if you watch him. This system, that’s wh൲y you have got to give Arteta credit. I prefer him further forward. When he plays a little bit deeper, I prefer a Partey or a Jorginho in there and him having th𒉰e freedom to do what he needs to do.”

Kai Havertz stepping up when it matters

A Champions League final goal to ꦉhis name, Kai Havertz has already produced in one of the big𒆙gest moments possible.

However, 🦩he’d not really shown that for Arsenal as yet.

But now, and in the last month or two, Havertz has really shown his worth to Arsenal and shown just why Mikel Arteta convinced his board to splash more than £60m on him in the sum▨mer.

This title race is going to the wire. And if Arse🦩nal do end up winning the title, t🃏hen Havertz will have been one of the most important factors in that success.
