William Gallas has doubts that Kai Havertz will come good for Arsenal this season.

The German arrived for £60 million in the summer from Chelsea after struggling to convince at Stamford Bridge.

He was yet to score for his new side until Martin Odegaard presented him with the chance to score from the spot against Bournemouth last weekend.

That meant he now has his first goal Mikel Arteta’s men, but speaking to Gambling Zone, Gallas was unimpressed and predicted that he would continue to underperform.

He said: “Don’t forget, they paid a lot of money for him and before his penalty, he did absolutely nothing for Arsenal so far. 

“After almost two months he did nothing. He scored his penalty, but without that, he hasn’t done anything. 

“The fans expect more from him.

“I’m not convinced by Havertz. I don’t think he will have a good season.”
