“He gives his EVERYTHING on the pitch and plays his heart out for Arsenal. If he doesn’t start again Porto next week, Arsenal are out of UCL”- Man United Legend Rio Ferdinand blasts Arsenal fans who want £27M star to start matches over Kai Havertz

‘He gives everything’… Rio Ferdinand reckons Arsenal fans want £27m player to start over Kai Havertz
Kai Havertz’s journey at Arsenal is finally starting to showcase his true potential. After a sluggish start at the Emirates, the German midfielder is gradually finding his rhythm, winning over some fans while still needing to convince others.
Despite his recent uptick in form, Havertz still faces skepticism from certain sections of the Arsenal faithful. In a recent discussion on the Kelly and Wrighty Show, football pundit Rio Ferdinand raised an intriguing point regarding Havertz and the preferences of Gunners supporters.
Ferdinand suggested that if Arsenal fans were given the choice between Havertz and Leandro Trossard in the starting lineup, many would opt for the latter. According to Ferdinand, Trossard’s consistent contributions in terms of goals, assists, and overall impact on the game make him a more desirable option for some fans.
“It would be interesting to hear from Arsenal fans if they had to choose between him [Havertz] and Trossard. I think I know the answer. I believe they’d lean towards Trossard because of his game-changing abilities—he consistently delivers on the pitch,” Ferdinand remarked.
The comparison between Havertz and Trossard highlights the diverse skill sets and playing styles within the Arsenal squad. While both players serve as attacking outlets for the team, they possess distinct characteristics that set them apart.
Standing at 6 feet 4 inches, Havertz cuts a physically imposing figure on the field, capable of overpowering defenders with his size and strength. In contrast, Trossard, despite being one of the shorter players in the league, relies on his agility, technical prowess, and knack for finding the back of the net.
The debate over who holds the edge as the superior player remains subjective and open to interpretation. However, Havertz’s recent resurgence and impactful performances suggest that manager Mikel Arteta values his contributions to the team and is unlikely to drop him in favor of Trossard anytime soon.
As Arsenal continues its campaign, the ongoing development and integration of players like Havertz and Trossard will undoubtedly shape the team’s fortunes on the pitch, while also fueling discussions among fans and pundits alike.
