KAI HAVERTZ'S Arsenal career is "in trouble" as he has "done nothing" so far at the Emirates.
That is according to the the Gunners' hero William Gallas, who insists Havertz needs to pick up the pace after the international break.

However, the Germany international has struggled to live up to expectations with only one goal and one assist in 12 appearances.
But the 24-year-old created Gabriel Martinelli's winner against Manchester City two weeks ago and Arteta initially tried to use him as a central midfielder to fill in for Granit Xhaka.
Nevertheless, Gallas is not at all convinced and claims Arsenal should have never signed Havertz.
