“This is not the first time that Arteta is repeating this mistake; I watched their preseason game and He did the same; I’m sure this is going to cost him his job soon,” Jose Mourinho discloses the one mistake Arteta is making that will cost them the title soon.

The opening match of the Premier League season brought an unexpected storyline for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta, particularly regarding the intense scrutiny surrounding Kai Havertz. Amidst the ongoing transfer window discussions, fans are clamoring for more signings, especially with less than two weeks remaining. So far, Arsenal has added only Riccardo Calafiori to their senior squad, heightening the calls for further reinforcements.

Despite the external pressure, Havertz delivered a compelling performance. In Arsenal’s victory, he opened the scoring with a powerful header from a precise Bukayo Saka cross, displaying the qualities of a classic center-forward. His influence didn’t stop there, as he continued to trouble Wolves’ defense throughout the match. Havertz had two strong penalty claims denied, but his aerial prowess and link-up play contributed significantly to Arsenal’s offensive rhythm. His impact culminated in helping set up Arsenal’s second goal, where Saka’s signature left-footed shot sealed the win.

While Havertz’s performance provides Arteta with a persuasive argument against the immediate need for a new striker, the debate among fans persists. The market lacks obvious striker options, and even players like Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen would come with significant costs. With Saka sustaining several knocks and Leandro Trossard as the only viable replacement, attention may need to shift towards reinforcing the wing positions, rather than splurging on another striker.

Ultimately, Havertz’s display might have already shown that he could be Arsenal’s solution in attack, reducing the urgency for a high-priced forward signing this summer.
