The former Liverpool star, Robbie Fowler, has revealed that Kai Hvertz is the player who will prevent Arsenal from winning the main titles this year.
Fowler's prediction occurs after the Gunners left the Carabao Cup, since they lost 4-0 together against Newcastle on Wednesday.
The 25 -year -old German appeared in the initial alignment and played the entire game, but failed to impact the team's performance and achieved only one shot in the goal.
Although Havertz remains a regular starter for the manager Mikel Arteta, the Spanish was disappointed by the failure on his side to ensure an agreement for a new striker in the January transfer window, with the arsenal showing a clear interest in Sign the NO 9 Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa.
Now, Fowler, a former best striker, has put doubts about whether the previous acquisition of £ 65 million is the right option for a team that aspires to the large trophies, such as the Premier League or the Champions League.
Talk about Alignment With Jim White and Tony Bellew, the former Liverpool striker said: “If I'm honest, he (Hvertz) is not my cup of tea.”

“I think it's fine, but, if you are a team that has real aspirations to win first -level leagues and champions leagues, so I think you need someone better than Kai Havertz in that focal paper of the striker.
'He will do a job, but I don't think he was as consistent as he would have liked. I only think there are better players out there.
Fowler has also highlighted Arsenal's mistake not to sign a striker during the entire winter transfer window.
During January it was understood that watking was willing to come to the Emirates stadium, but the Gunners made their offer to Aston Villa that were determined to keep the player.
Arteta is well documented to be a long -term admirer of the 29 -year -old striker's skills, which is known to be an Arsenal fan from childhood.
However, a possible agreement collapsed when Jhon Duran completed his move to the Saudi Pro League al-Nassr team for £ 64.5 million, joining characters like Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane.
“When Arsenal was linked to Ollie Watkins, it seemed like an almost symbolic gesture,” Fowler continued.
“Being realistic, with Jhon they last to leave, there was no possibility that Villa let him go, so it seemed a bit as if it were done to appease fans instead of a serious offer.”
