ARSENAL fans have begged for Kai Havertz to be dropped after Leandro Trossard’s impressive showing for Belgium tonight.
Belgium went 2-0 up against Estonia with Trossard scoring their second goal.
The winger is playing on the left of a front three completed by Romelu Lukaku and Manchester City’s Jeremy Doku.
And his 18th minute strike to make it 2-0 was a fine one indeed.
The winger received the ball on the edge of the area before beating three men and finishing with a rasping knuckle ball strike.
Trossard impressed in pre-season for the Gunners but has barely featured in the Premier League so far.

He has made just two appearances from the bench in games against Nottingham Forest and Fulham for a total of 62 minutes across both games.
And Gunners fans have contrasted Trossard’s fine form for Belgium with the struggles of Havertz in an Arsenal shirt – and demanded that the Belgian is given a chance.
One fan on Twitter said: “This guy was cooking in preseason can’t believe we haven’t seen more of him, great finish.”
Another wrote: “But Arteta would leave him stuck on the bench and play Havertz no matter what.”

A third commented: “Need to unleash this at Arsenal. Must be best ball striker in the team currently.”
And a fourth added: “Great goal by Trossard. Need to get him in the team, either for Havertz or Martinelli. Can’t take out Saka or Odegaard and don’t think the middle of the front 3 is right for him either.”
In contrast to Trossard’s star-turn for Belgium tonight, Havertz has been dropped by his national side.
The midfielder was left on the bench for tonight’s friendly against France.
Rudi Voller is in temporary charge of the German national team after Hansi Flick’s dismissal this week.
