One of Arsenal’s newest additions had an evening to forget in Washington as Kai Havertz failed to score with a single one of his attempts on goal during the MLS All-Stars skill challenge
New Arsenal signing Kai Havertz has been the subject of intense social media ridicule after he failed to get to grips with the MLS All-Star skills challenge.
The Germany international left the Gunners’ London rivals Chelsea after three years at Stamford Bridge, with Mikel Arteta willing to fork out £65million to bring Havertz to the Emirates this summer. However, with such a price tag comes intense scrutiny and the forward is already the topic of much discussion after a dismal display out in the United States.
The 24-year-old was one of a selected group of Arsenal players chosen to take part in an array of skill games, but his performance in the cross and volley challenge may spark concern among the Gunners faithful.
The task sees Havertz’s team-mates whip in a number of crosses, with the former Blues star expected to control the ball before finishing comfortably and guiding his efforts into the back of the net.
