Arsenal legend Parlour surprised by Havertz decision

Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has questioned the club's recent signing of Kai Havertz from Chelsea.

The Gunners have paid an astonishing 65 million for a player who has flattered to deceive for the past two seasons.

However, manager Mikel Arteta is said to be a huge admirer of Havertz and believes he can get the best out of the German attacking midfielder.

Havertz was a bit of a shock," Parlour said on talkSPORT.

Because I thought they needed an out-and-out striker.

[Gabriel] Jesus is there, Eddie Nketiah has done great when he's come in but I thought they needed one more top quality striker.

But they went for Havertz and spent a lot of money on him. Edu and Mikel Arteta must see something in him."
