Havertz or Smith Rowe - who deserves to start for Arsenal? Stats answer

Kai Havertz is yet to win over all Arsenal fans following his big-money move from Chelsea.

The German has shown some positive signs since his arrival, scoring five goals so far across all competitions.

However, many supporters believe his arrival has affected Emile Smith Rowe's development and the club should not have signed him in the first place.

But deserve to start based on stats? Well, the image below shows that both players' end products are very identical.

Havertz has scored more goals with superior key passes. No surprise as he plays primarily in attack. Smith Rowe, on the other hand, has racked up more assists and take on success.

However, Mike Arteta has the final say on team selection.
