Mikel Arteta revealed that he was “hopeful” of having Kai Havertz available for the second leg of Arsenal’s Champions League semifinal against Atlético Madrid on Tuesday night.
The ephemeral forward has an enormous impact on the entire team’s forward line when deployed as the sole striker, boasting a skillset laced with more craft and cunning than Viktor Gyökeres’s rugged brand of crash-ball. Unfortunately for Arteta, he simply hasn’t had his first-choice center forward available enough.
