It's gold that always shines!
How many people scolded Havertz in the past, and now how many people give him a thumbs up, when the light enters the end of 2023, the much-criticized Havertz has gradually swept away the haze of the beginning of the season and has become the darling of Arsenal fans.
For Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, Havertz's shine has long been expected by him, whether it is Havertz's highlight performance of scoring 3 goals in the last 5 games, or his conscientious professional attitude on the field, all of which prove Arteta's original vision, in fact, if it were not for the nitpicking of the Premier League referee, Havertz may have staged a wonderful goal in the last round of the game with Aston Villa, which round of Emery became the focus of post-match touting.
If you ask how much Arteta trusts Havertz, take the midweek game against PSV Eindhoven as an example, even though Arsenal have already qualified from the group, Arteta still let Havertz start, and did not give youngster Nwaneri a chance to train at all, which shows the importance of Havertz in Arteta's heart.
Of course, some people will say that Havertz's sudden awakening is due to the "magic hand" of German coach Nagelsmann, but without Arteta's silent encouragement behind the scenes, it would be difficult for Havertz to hold on to the overwhelming criticism.
Remember the vicious curse on Havertz from extreme fans on the internet?Now that I think about it, I really feel sorry for Havertz.
Could it be that the good-natured Havertz was born to be bullied?Alright!Then let him hit the doubter in the face with the next goal!
Ivan Toney is still Osimhen, and among the two good goalscorer options, more football experts have suggested Arteta opt for the former.
With the approach of next year's winter window, Arsenal's gun-hunting plan is imminent, according to European ** reports, Brentford star Ivan Toney is getting closer and closer to Arsenal, but whether the transfer can be made depends on the decision-making and courage of Arsenal management.
The reason why Arsenal management is hesitant, in the eyes of some football ** people, the main reason is that Ivan Tony has no previous experience in playing for giants, in case of risking to sign only afraid of copying a bad case like Nicolas Pepe many years ago, but if you don't sign Ivan Toney, there is no better option in the transfer market, Vlahovic and Osimhen are too expensive, and it is too wishful thinking to sign Mbappe, at this moment, it seems that only Ivan Toni is the most suitable candidate for Arteta's new gun.
Once Ivan Toni joins Arsenal, Arteta will have more options to choose from, at least in terms of forward set-up, while wingers such as Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard can play in their own better positions, and hard-working Nketiah will be more motivated to compete. For example, the embarrassing situation of Arsenal "scoring no points" in many games will also be solved.
It's just that I don't know if the Arsenal management dares to spend a lot of money to sign Ivan Tony after signing Rice and Havertz?
Let's wait and see!
