KAI HAVERTZ has been slammed by former England striker Darren Bent for not adding anything to Arsenal.<\/strong><\/p>\n The German was signed from Chelsea in a lucrative deal in the summer but has scored just once this season – from the penalty spot against Bournemouth.<\/p>\n His starts have been limited but he was given the chance to impress against West Ham in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.<\/p>\n But Bent felt Havertz contributed very little as the Gunners were beaten 3-1 at the London Stadium.<\/p>\n After the game Bent tweeted: "I hate singling out one player but I need someone to explain why \u00a365million was spent on Kai Havertz and what exactly is he bringing to the team? <\/p>\n "15 games into the season I haven't seen anything substantial."<\/p>\n Havertz, 24, has faced a lot of criticism since his move across London with many unsure of where he fits into Mikel Arteta's team.<\/p>\n Chelsea icon Frank Leboeuf tore into the midfielder by suggesting his best position is on the bench for Arsenal, so he does not disturb his team-mates on the pitch.<\/p>\n Former Arsenal captain William Gallas supports Bent's view that Havertz has done very little since his arrival.<\/p>\n He said: "I\u2019m not impressed with Kai Havertz so far.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n "He\u2019s done nothing since he joined Arsenal. He may have scored, but that was only because Martin Odegaard let him take a penalty!<\/p>\n "Havertz hasn\u2019t done anything yet, and I think he\u2019s in trouble.<\/p>\n "I don\u2019t think Arsenal should have signed Kai Havertz. I think that was a mistake. If you spent \u00a360million on a striker, you expect them to score at least 15 goals in a season! I don\u2019t think that\u2019ll happen.<\/p>\n "Arsenal don\u2019t have time! The season may be long, but clubs need results straight away.<\/p>\n "Havertz was at Chelsea for three years and knows the Premier League well.<\/p>\n "It may take a while to settle into a new team, but he already lived in London!<\/p>\n "Players need to adapt immediately \u2013 they don\u2019t have time."<\/p>\n
