Ian Wright believes Kai Havertz should replace struggling Eddie Nketiah.
The German international came off the bench to provide the assist for Gabriel Martinelli’s late winner against Manchester City.
The 24-year-old playmaker has struggled to hit the ground running since his big-money move from Chelsea this summer.
Havertz replaced Eddie Nketiah in the 75th minute and put in an absolute stellar display in the final third.
Nketiah has also struggled this season as he scored just twice across 11 appearances this term.
Club legend Ian Wright believes Havertz should replace Nketiah in the final third.
“You know what, if he [Havertz] doesn’t go in there to lay it back down, we may not get that [goal against City],” Wright said.
“Because some of the times, Eddie, like I said, he did a lot of work, made so many runs.
“And I think that Kai Havertz coming on and doing that was absolutely brilliant for us.
“Eddie, I thought he worked his socks off and it’s very tough. Against Manchester City, your chances are few and far between.
