Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta may have his own Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah this summer after securing the signing of Kai Havertz from Chelsea. The 24-year-old secured the switch across London earlier this week in a deal that could rise up to £65million, if add-ons are achieved.
The German international had an inconsistent spell at Stamford Bridge, showing quality and composure at some moments, such as his Champions League final winning goal against Manchester City, though other times he struggled to find his place in the team. Arteta has hinted at a use for Havertz in the midfield going forward, during his arrival.
“Kai is a player of top quality," the Spaniard told the official website. "He has great versatility and is an intelligent player. He will bring a huge amount of extra strength to our midfield and variety to our play. We welcome Kai and his family to Arsenal Football Club and we are all excited to start working with him when we start pre-season training soon.”
