EPL: Darren Bent tells Arteta to bench Kai Havertz names best Arsenal’s midfield

Former Tottenham star, Darren Bent, has told Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta to bench his newly-signed German forward Kai Havertz.

He said that the Spaniard should keep his trust in midfielder Thomas Partey.

The Gunners have shown the entire Europe that they mean business in their preparation for next season, spending over £200million already in the transfer window.

Declan Rice arrived on Saturday for £105m from West Ham and he joined the likes of Jurrien Timber and Havertz through the door at the Emirates.

However, Partey, one of Arsenal’s top players last season, has been linked with a switch to Saudi Arabia.

But ex-Tottenham striker Bent reckons Arteta should continue starting Partey – even if it means benching £65m Havertz.

Speaking on Twitter, the former Premier League striker posted: “I’d keep Thomas Partey, Partey, Rice, [Martin] Odegaard, that’s a serious midfield combination, give Rice more of a license to go forward.”

And replying to the tweet, a fan asked where Havertz will play and Bent replied, “He doesn’t,” play.
