Mikel Arteta has been told that an Arsenal player has unwanted similarities to former Gunners star Mesut Ozil.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been warned that Kai Havertz could be another Mesut Ozil at the Emirates. Arteta ousted Ozil early in his reign with the Gunners but former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy reckons he could have a similar player on his hands.
Ozil at his peak was one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League. But the German had far too many off days in an Arsenal shirt.
His last game for the Gunners was in March 2020, before the break caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. He didn’t leave until the following January but was not part of Arteta’s plans upon the resumption of top-flight action.
Ozil’s work ethic was often questioned by pundits, who commonly called him lazy. Chelsea fan Cundy followed Havertz closely during his three years at Stamford Bridge and says there are unfortunate similarities to the former World Cup winner.
