Jamie O’Hara insists that Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus is much better than Chelsea’s Kai Havertz.
There’s a fascinating London derby taking place at Sunday lunchtime this weekend, with Chelsea hosting Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.
Graham Potter’s Blues side enter their next match sixth in the league table, so really need three points to try push themselves back into the top four.
Elsewhere, the Gunners travel to Chelsea sitting top of the Premier League and in great touch.
Jesus better than Havertz
TalkSPORT pundit O’Hara, who was discussing how many Chelsea players would get into the Arsenal starting line-up, stated he much prefers Jesus over Havertz.
“You can’t say Havertz because for me [Gabriel] Jesus is way better,” O’Hara told talkSPORT.
In fairness, Jesus has been in excellent form since his move to Arsenal from Manchester City in the summer.
The 25-year-old striker has made 17 appearances this season, scoring five goals and making seven assists.
Havertz, who often alternates between a No.9 and a No.10 position in attack, hasn’t been hitting the same heights as Jesus.
The 23-year-old Blues star does have four goals to his name, but is playing in a Chelsea forward line that’s still trying to be pieced together by Potter.
It’s obvious the Arsenal man is clear right now. In our view, Havertz can still have a higher ceiling if someone can unlock his full potential.
Potter will be praying the Chelsea forward line can really burst to life on Sunday in a big London derby.
Havertz, along with Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, do have the individual ability to seriously threaten the Arsenal defence.
