“Too important a player for Mikel Arteta” - Carragher names Arsenal star who will replace Viktor Gyokeres in big games this season

Jamie Carragher predicts Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will prioritize Kai Havertz over Viktor Gyokeres in major matches due to Gyokeres' underwhelming debut performance.

  • Jamie Carragher suggested that Arsenal will rely on Kai Havertz instead of Viktor Gyokeres for their key matches during the 2025-26 season.
  • This follows Gyokeres' subdued debut as Arsenal won 1-0 at Manchester United, where pundits debated who should lead the attack.
  • Carragher argued Havertz is too important for Arteta to drop in big matches, while Gary Neville insisted Gyokeres cannot be excluded.
  • Carragher expressed his belief that Havertz will be relied upon in the most important matches, and he also anticipated that Gyokeres would contribute by scoring goals.
  • The situation suggests Arsenal may rotate these forwards depending on the opponent, reflecting ongoing efforts to integrate Gyokeres fully under Arteta.
