Kai Havertz Gets Trolled After Becoming First Player to Score Zero in MLS Skills Challenge

• Kai Havertz has heightened the fear of Arsenal fans over his role in the team, despite the fact that he just joined the team
• The German sealed a £67.5m move to Arsenal from rivals Chelsea weeks ago
• Havertz was on the Gunners' team for the MLS skills challenge but set an unwanted record for himself

Kai Havertz is in the news for the wrong reasons again after his performance in the MLS skills challenge during Arsenal's pre-season tour of the United States.

The German spent three years at Chelsea but only had a few good moments and struggled to make consistent impacts at Stamford Bridge before sealing a £67.5m move to rivals Arsenal.

The move was questioned by fans who had no idea where he fits into the team, even when head coach Mikel Arteta tipped the Champions League winner to play in midfield.

He made his debut in the 1-1 draw against Nuremberg in the Gunners' first preseason game, and despite playing for only one half, his poor performance did not go unnoticed.

Havertz's performance worries Gunners

Arsenal named a team of 10 for the MLS All-stars skills challenge at the Audi Field, including two goalkeepers, and they participated in a series of challenges, including cross and volley and touchdown challenges.

As seen in a video on Twitter by Men in Blazers, Havertz failed to score in the cross and volley challenge, becoming the first player to do so in the competition's history.

The 24-year-old is getting trolled on social media, particularly by Chelsea fans, while for his new fans, it reiterates their initial thoughts that he was a needless signing.

He may have been getting the heat for his performance in that challenge, but Marca reports that he scored a competition-high of 86 points in the touchdown challenge to give Arsenal the victory.

Arteta asks for patience

Sports Brief reported that Arteta asked for patience over Havertz as he looks forward to studying the player more and finding a solution that suits him and the team.

This came after fans voiced their displeasure at the player's performance in their first preseason game, where he was deployed as a left-sided number 8 but struggled to make an impact.
