Mikel Arteta envisions extracting the best from Kai Havertz at Arsenal
Confidence radiates from Mikel Arteta as he envisions extracting the best from Kai Havertz at Arsenal, according to Nizaar Kinsella.
Having left his mark on Chelsea's history, the 24-year-old now embarks on a journey to establish his own identity with the Gunners in a £65 million transfer deal. Despite his pivotal goal in the 2021 Champions League Final, Havertz's time at Stamford Bridge has been a mixture of highs and lows.
Being highly self-critical, the German midfielder has felt frustrated with his performance during his stay in England. While his immense talent occasionally shines through, he acknowledges that he hasn't consistently met expectations.

Arteta envisions utilizing Havertz in a deeper midfield position, either as a No. 8 or a No. 10, while also taking advantage of his versatility to enhance Arsenal's attacking options across the front three.
