Former Chelsea player and sports commentator Frank Leboeuf has slammed Arsenal striker Kai Harvertz and the North London side for signing him. According to Leboeuf, Arsenal made a mistake signing the player.

Harvertz has struggled to fit into the Arsenal team this season after his summer move from Chelsea.

During a chat with ESPN FC, Leboeuf was asked what Harvertz best position is, he said; “Maybe right now on the bench (is his best position) because he doesn’t disturb the others. We talked about it in pre-season when we knew he signed. His positioning is going to affect the rest of the midfielders, they are unbalanced because of him and Odegaard playing in almost the same line.

“What made Arsenal strong last season, Odegaard was on his own trying to create the game and the others were working for him.

“Maybe playing on the left but when you have Trossard and Martinellil don’t see any room for him. I think from Arteta it was a mistake to hire Havertz, I don’t find any good position for him.”
