William Gallas slams Arsenal's 'suprising' signing of Kai Havertz and hints that midfielder will STRUGGLE at the Emirates next season... as he tips Game4Ukraine team-mate Mykhailo Mudryk to shine for Chelsea

Former Arsenal and Chelsea defender William Gallas has given his assessment on the prospects of both of his old Premier League clubs - with new Gunners signing Kai Havertz receiving a damning verdict.

Gallas first moved to the Premier League to join Chelsea in 2001, before departing in 2006 to join Arsenal for a mixed four-year stint as one of a number of players who have made the crosstown move.

Following in his footsteps, German international Havertz joined Arsenal during the summer transfer window for £62million, calling time on a three-spell at Stamford Bridge that saw him lift the Champions League in 2021 after scoring the winning goal against Manchester City.
