Kai Havertz Move To Arsenal Considered Worst Transfer Of 2023 Season

Published

on

Kai Havertz, former Chelsea player, who moved to Arsenal, is considered the worst transfer of the summer.

Kai Havertz joined Arsenal from Chelsea for £65 million and has not lived up to expectations so far. He has not scored a goal or provided an assist in his first four Premier League games, and he has looked lost and out of sorts at times.

Some transfer agents have criticized Kai Havertz’s move, saying that he was not worth the money and that he is not a good fit for Arsenal’s style of play. Others have defended Kai Havertz, saying that he is still young and needs time to adjust to his new team.

Only time will tell whether Kai Havertz can turn things around at Arsenal. But for now, he is considered the worst transfer of the summer.

It is not only Kai Havertz that many football fans have considered the worst transfer of the summer, some other players have been criticized for their moves this summer. They include:

  • Moises Caicedo (Chelsea to Brighton): The Ecuadorian midfielder has been accused of being too slow and not physical enough for the Premier League.
  • Mason Mount (Chelsea to Manchester United): The English midfielder has struggled to make an impact at United so far, and he has been criticized for his lack of creativity.
  • Christopher Nkunku (RB Leipzig to Chelsea): The French forward has been accused of being too inconsistent, and he has not yet scored a goal for Chelsea.

It is important to note that it is still early days in the season, and these players have time to turn things around. However, their slow starts have put them under pressure, and they will need to start performing soon if they want to avoid being labelled as flops.

Luka Modric is an example of a player who proved the doubters wrong about their early judgment of players. Luka Modric was signed by Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur for £30 million in 2012. He was initially criticized for his lack of pace and physicality, but he went on to become one of the best midfielders in the world. He helped Real Madrid win four Champions League titles, and he was named the Ballon d’Or winner in 2018.

Luke Modric’s story shows that it is important to be patient with new signings. Sometimes, players need time to adjust to a new team and a new league; if they have the talent, they can eventually succeed.

Aruna’s path to victory included a convincing win against his compatriot, Omotayo Olajide with a score of 4-0 (12-10, 11-6, 11-9, 11-2), setting the stage for a showdown with the Egyptian players in the finals.

This triumph marked Aruna Quadri’s second ITTF crown, building on his previous victory where he overcame a slow start in two sets to claim the championship against Omar Assar.

Aruna Akinade Quadri as his full name, was born in Oyo State, Nigeria, in 1988. He started playing table tennis at the age of six. He moved to Germany in 2010 to pursue his professional table tennis career.

The Nigerian table tennis player has competed at three Olympic Games, reaching the quarter-finals in 2016. He is the first African player to be ranked in the top 10 in the world, and he is also the first African player to win a medal at the World Table Tennis Championships.

Quadri is a role model for athletes all over the world, and he is an inspiration to many young table tennis players in Africa. He has shown that African players can achieve success at the highest level.

Notably, Nigeria’s success in the ITTF African Championship game extended beyond the men’s singles event. In the women’s doubles competition, the 47-year-old Funke Oshonaike, who came out of retirement, teamed up with the rising star, Fatimo Bello.

The female duo secured a gold medal by defeating a tough combination of Cameroon’s Sarah Hanffou and Egypt’s Marwa Alhodaby, with a closely contested score of 3-2 in the final on Saturday.
