"It’s just taking": Kevin Campbell says one Arsenal player works much harder than people think

Arsenal legend Kevin Campbell has come to the defense of the Gunners' summer signing Kai Havertz.

The Gunners acquired Havertz's services this summer in a deal reportedly worth £65 million, with the 24-year-old making 12 appearances for the Gunners so far, scoring one goal from the penalty spot and providing one assist.

Havertz's relatively low goal and assist numbers have attracted criticism on social media. However, Campbell argues that those who have actually watched him play at the Emirates Stadium have seen a hard-working player.

In an interview with Curtis Shaw TV, the former Highbury cult hero stated that the Germany international's performance is not as poor as it is portrayed on social media.

“On social media, you would think that Kai Havertz is stinking the place out left, right and centre. Costing us week in and week out," he said, via TBR Football.

"He’s not. He does put a shift in. He is a continuity player. It’s just taking him longer to settle in what his manager wants him to do.”
