Mikel Arteta gives verdict on Kai Havertz struggles after Arsenal's FA Cup exit

Mikel Arteta has expressed unwavering support for Kai Havertz despite the German's tough week, in which he missed key chances in losses to Newcastle United and Manchester United.

Havertz's struggles in front of goal have raised doubts among Arsenal fans, especially given his role as Arteta's preferred striker after Gabriel Jesus' injury. However, Arteta reaffirmed his belief in Havertz, telling him and the team that they are loved and valued, regardless of recent results.

Arteta also dismissed suggestions of signing a new striker in January, emphasizing his faith in the current squad. He acknowledged the emotional and confidence challenges the team faces but remains focused on improving performances with the players at his disposal.
