Arsenal have been warned new signing Kai Havertz still has much to prove
Arsenal have been warned that Kai Havertz has still not proved himself to be a difference maker in the Premier League. The Gunners have made Havertz their highest-paid player after buying him from Chelsea.

The German struggled for form at Stamford Bridge after arriving from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020. And Premier League icon Harry Redknapp has now sent a warning to Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.

He told talkSPORT: “I think he’ll (Rice) be a great signing for them. I think they’ve made a couple – him and Havertz. We haven’t seen the best of him. He’s got to be better than what he has shown at Chelsea. I think they are two big signings for Arsenal.”

Ray Parlour has a theory on why Declan Rice was always picking Arsenal over Man City
Arsenal have been told that they have no chance of signing PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman has informed the Ligue 1 champions of his desire to leave for free next summer and they are now trying to sell him.

The Gunners had surprisingly been floated as a possible destination for the France captain. But former Aston Villa star Alan Hutton believes they have no hope of signing the World Cup winner.

He told Football Insider: “It’s nothing against Arsenal , but it is well known that Madrid is the club he wants to be at. I can’t see it being Arsenal, and that is not a downside for them, Mbappe is still 24, so if there is anyone you can imagine in a Real Madrid strip, it would be him.”
