Some eyebrows were raised when Arsenal decided to splash £65million to sign Kai Havertz from Chelsea during this summer's transfer window.
Havertz had established himself as one of Europe's brightest young talents during his time with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga but his three seasons in the Premier League were inconsistent, to say the least. Often deployed in attack for the Blues, the German international often looked lost tasked with being the primary goalscorer.
But the Gunners have hinted that they see his future deeper, with Mikel Arteta making it clear that the 24-year-old's skillset is likely more suited to a midfield role. “Kai is a player of top quality", Arteta told the club's official website when the signing of Havertz was announced.
