Rangers legend, Ally McCoist and Chelsea legend, Eniola Aluko have differing opinions over Arsenal’s imminent signing of forward Kai Havertz from the Blues.
Arsenal are on the verge of unveiling Havertz as an Arsenal player after agreeing on a deal with Chelsea worth £65million for the Germany international.
Havertz has endured a mixed spell at Chelsea, scoring the winner in the 2021 UEFA Champions League final but largely frustrating Chelsea fans since his £72million move from Bayer Leverkusen three years ago.
Despite this, Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta believes Havertz will be a valuable and versatile member of his squad next season as the player is capable of playing across the front three or even in midfield.
When asked by talkSPORT about Arsenal’s move for Havertz, Aluko believes the player will not make the Gunners win the Premier League title, while McCoist feels the 24-year-old is a great player.
“Signing Kai Havertz, for me, I don’t really get it,” Aluko said. “Arsenal need to sign players that are going to make them win the Premier League.”
On his part, McCoist said: “Havertz is one of them, I think he is a great player.”
