Jermain Defoe believes Kai Havertz is 'lucky' that he has Arsenal teammates who want to help him, after they made the 'quite strange' decision to let him take a penalty in the win over Bournemouth.
Jermain Defoe believes Kai Havertz is “lucky” that he has Arsenal teammates who want to help him, after they made the “quite strange” decision to let him take a penalty in the win over Bournemouth.
The manager would have had to wait a little while longer to see some returns in front of goal from Havertz had he not been given the opportunity to take a penalty against Bournemouth. The same goes with free-kick takers, leading to a famous moment in which Defoe argued with Gilberto over a free-kick while at Toronto FC, which Gilberto netted, making his teammate look a bit silly.
Indeed, Havertz could just as easily not have been given the penalty, and his visible confidence struggles could have continued. However, he’s on the board, and Defoe is happy for him, and feels it’s a step in the right direction.
