In his last seven top-flight appearances, the German player has scored five times and provided four assists. During this period, only Cole Palmer has directly contributed to more goals with a tally of 11. Despite his impressive performances, former Tottenham boss Sherwood criticized the player for an action after a match on Saturday evening. Havertz was seen giving his shirt to Brighton coach Marcattilio Marcattili after the game, a move that Sherwood disapproved of, saying, “I can’t have that.

What the hell is that man thinking about?!” Havertz seems unfazed by the criticism, especially after scoring his ninth Premier League goal of the season, which is his highest tally since moving to England in 2020. In response to the criticism, he commented, “Yes. A lot of times the players decide where they have to play.

You can have certain ideas but then you see certain relationships and it flows. When it flows, you have to let it go. That’s what is happening with Kai at the moment, and he feels really comfortable there. The team is really comfortable with him there and the rest has happened naturally.

He’s certainly having a huge impact on the team. His overall performances have been really good and now his numbers for goal contributions are really high.” Despite his recent form, Arteta has cautioned Havertz about the need to maintain his hot streak in the remaining fixtures. Arteta praised Havertz, saying, “I think his understanding with the attacking players was superb.

I think they had real purpose and connection and a lot of clarity on where to attack and we created many chances. He has some fantastic players around him and we have tried to create the right environment for him, which I think is very important for any player, that they feel confident and we hopefully give him the love he needs. He has the admiration of the rest of the players and staff at the club and now the supporters of our club, for sure.”
