Kai Havertz has become a pivotal figure in Arsenal’s Premier League title challenge, contributing 14 goals and assists in his last 13 games. Despite initial doubts following his £65 million transfer from Chelsea, Havertz has flourished as Arsenal’s central striker, particularly after Gabriel Jesus’s injury in January.

Havertz’s versatility, clever runs, and aerial ability have made him a vital asset for Mikel Arteta’s side, creating space for teammates like Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard. His recent performances have heard his chant from Arsenal fans sung on repeat: “Tsamina mina, eh, eh waka waka, eh, eh 60 million down the drain, Kai Havertz scores again!”

Initially struggling to find his footing atArsenal, Havertz has thrived since being deployed as the focal point of the attack. His intelligent runs, aerial prowess, and finishing ability have all significantly improved, making him a key contributor to Arsenal’s impressive run of form.

Havertz’s future at Arsenal and Germany

At just 24 years old, Havertz has the potential to become a long-term solution for both Arsenal and the German national team at the striker position. His recent success as a number 9 could also benefit Germany, who currently lack depth in that position ahead of Euro 2024.
