Former Aston Villa captain Gabriel Agbonlahor has warned Arsenal against signing Kai Havertz from Chelsea this summer.
Arsenal are about to table a first bid of 55 million pounds for the Germany international as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his forward line ahead of next season.
Chelsea are also willing to sell the forward as they cut down their squad ahead of the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino, who will begin work on July 1.
But Agbonlahor feels that Havertz is not the player for Arsenal, saying the German is frustrating to watch.
“With Havertz, He’s frustrating to watch, isn’t he? Because you can tell there’s a player in there,” the former England international told talkSPORT.
“Last season [he scored] seven goals in 35 games. And there must be something that [Mauricio] Pochettino is thinking. ‘I can get 50-60 million for him. I’ve got my eyes on someone else who’s more clinical’.
“I don’t understand from an Arsenal point of view. Arsenal need a clinical striker, you know. Gabriel Jesus missed a lot of chances last season, [Eddie] Nketiah did as well. I don’t think he suits Arsenal. There are Arsenal fans on social media last night who don’t want him.”
