Emmanuel Adebayor recently spoke about his former club Arsenal and shared his thoughts on their title race. He expressed that he isn't a big fan of Arsenal star Kai Havertz and warned that the team may drop more points in their remaining three games.
In their recent North London derby, Arsenal managed to keep the pressure on defending champions Manchester City with a tense 3-2 victory over Tottenham. Despite leading 3-0 at half-time, they had to withstand a spirited rally from Spurs to secure three crucial points and earn bragging rights in the city.
This victory put Arsenal four points clear at the top of the Premier League table, but Manchester City closed the gap to just one point with a win over Nottingham Forest a few hours later. However, with a game in hand, the Premier League trophy is still within Man City's reach. If Arsenal were to win their final three games and finish on 89 points, it would put immense pressure on Man City as they chase a record fourth consecutive title.
But Adebayor, who played over 100 games for Arsenal before moving on to Manchester City and Tottenham, isn't sure if the Gunners can maintain their winning streak in the final stretch of the season.
"Anything is possible with Arsenal because we all know how good they can play," he said on Premier League Productions after the North London derby. "This team is very young and talented. But am I sure they will get nine points? I'm not sure. Anything can happen. We saw a couple of weeks ago they lost at home to Aston Villa."
He also shared his doubts about Arsenal's strength and their ability to win their remaining games, unlike Manchester City who have a proven track record of winning consistently. While Arsenal may be looking better and stronger, Adebayor is unsure if they can pull off the wins they need to secure the title.
The former Arsenal player also discussed his opinions on Kai Havertz, who joined Arsenal from Chelsea last summer. While Havertz has been a key player for Arsenal in recent games, Adebayor admitted that he is not a big fan of the young player.
"He has adapted well, but I am not a big fan of the player, to be honest," Adebayor said. "He isn't that strong and when you are playing up front for a team like Arsenal, you have to be strong and clever. He's a very good player with his feet."
Adebayor also acknowledged the pressure on Havertz, stating, "Football is a game where if you score, you are the hero, and if you don't, you are the villain." He believes that if Havertz can continue to score and help Arsenal win, he will be seen as a hero by the fans.
The Premier League title race continues to be thrilling and tight, with Arsenal set to face Bournemouth next weekend while Manchester City takes on Wolves. Meanwhile, Liverpool, who are five points behind Arsenal, will take on Tottenham. It will be an exciting end to the season, and it remains to be seen who will come out on top.
