England legend Alan Shearer says Arsenal still need an out-and-out centre-forward despite the good work by Kai Havertz.
“I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen from Havertz this season. In terms of being a traditional centre-forward, see Cole Palmer above,” Shearer said.
“Those things aren’t natural to him, but in terms of leading the line and bringing people into the game, he’s doing it and done it as well as he could, even if it has been a difficult few games for Arsenal.
“I haven’t changed my view since last season. They’ve got Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus, but I’d still say they need an out-and-out centre-forward. They needed one in the summer. They still do now.”
The Gunners have fired blanks in back-to-back games and would hope to bounce back when they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
