'There's something very wrong with him' - Gallas fears Arsenal star

Former Arsenal star William Gallas has said that “something is wrong” with the club’s summer signing Kai Havertz, following Germany’s decision to use him as a left-back against Turkey last weekend. “This is very wrong,” he said.

Havertz has endured a difficult start to his career at Arsenal since joining the Gunners from Chelsea in the summer.

The Germany international appears unsuited to the left-eight position that was originally planned for Arsenal following the departure of Granit Xhaka.

Despite his struggles at Arsenal, Havertz remained a mainstay of the German national team.

The 24-year-old was recently given the unusual role of left-back by Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann during the 3-2 friendly defeat against Turkey.

But Gallas was baffled by Nagelsmann’s decision, claiming the former Bayern Munich manager had no respect for Havertz, who already appears to be suffering a crisis of confidence at Arsenal.

“Is 24-year-old Kai Havertz playing as a left-back for his country? Seriously? Something is very wrong,” Gallas told Genting Casino.

“I don’t know what to say about this. To me, making this decision seems like coach Nagelsmann doesn’t respect Havertz as a player. Havertz played his entire career as an attacking player. Did you choose him as a left-back after all that?

“I really don’t know what to say about this decision… I’m completely confused. I think about it from a player’s perspective, this is not good. I don’t like this decision of the manager. This It’s a complete lack of respect from the manager.”

He added: “At the beginning of the season I said Kai Havertz would struggle at Arsenal. I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but he’s still struggling.

“I think it was always difficult for Havertz to adapt to the way Arsenal play and the way Mikel Arteta wants to use him.

“I don’t think he was the type of player that Arsenal needed to sign in the summer. If you look at the team, there were different types of players that, in my opinion, should have been a priority. We made a mistake in signing him. It seems like it was.”
