Groves Urges Arteta to Start Havertz Over Gyökeres

Former Arsenal player Perry Groves has recommended that Mikel Arteta, the current coach of Arsenal, should drop Viktor Gyökeres from the starting lineup in favor of Kai Havertz for the next match. In an interview with Metro, Groves emphasized that Gyökeres' goal-scoring record does not guarantee him a starting position, as Havertz has demonstrated superior synergy with his teammates.

Groves pointed out that Havertz's performance in the recent match against Manchester City illustrated the contrast between the two forwards. He praised Gyökeres for his attitude and playing style throughout the season but noted that Havertz's ability to adapt and hold the ball effectively has made him a more valuable asset.

Groves mentioned that Havertz scored in the match against Manchester City, applying pressure on goalkeeper Gigi Donnarumma, which further supports his case for starting over Gyökeres.
