Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has questioned the club's recent signing of Kai Havertz from Chelsea.

The Gunners have paid an astonishing £65 million for a player who has flattered to deceive for the past two seasons.

However, manager Mikel Arteta is said to be a huge admirer of Havertz and believes he can get the best out of the German attacking midfielder.

“Havertz was a bit of a shock," Parlour said on talkSPORT.

“Because I thought they needed an out-and-out striker.

“[Gabriel] Jesus is there, Eddie Nketiah has done great when he's come in but I thought they needed one more top quality striker.

“But they went for Havertz and spent a lot of money on him. Edu and Mikel Arteta must see something in him."
