Arsenal confirm Kai Havertz transfer as former Chelsea star joins London rivals

Arsenal have signed Kai Havertz from Chelsea as Mikel Arteta's Gunners revolution moved up another notch.

The German becomes the first signing of the summer for the Gunners, who are looking to build on their impressive campaign last time out. Havertz has spent the last three years at the Blues, scoring the winner in their Champions League final victory two years ago.

Arsenal have now captured the versatile 24-year-old, who can fill in at a number of positions across the forward line, for an initial £65m with a further £15m coming in add-ons. Last season Havertz scored nine times in all competitions and leave Chelsea having notched on 32 occasions across 139 appearances.
