Kai Havertz's Arsenal position revealed as £65m Chelsea transfer edges closer

It looks like Kai Havertz is set to become Arsenal's first signing of the summer transfer window, something that few would have predicted less than a month ago.

The Gunners are said to be close to an agreement to sign the German international from London rivals Chelsea in a deal worth around £65million. Havertz has already agreed personal terms with his new suitors, meaning a medical will likely be done in the coming days provided everything else goes to plan.

But there remains a number of unanswered questions surrounding this deal, including what the 24-year-old's best position is. Some supporters have argued that he has played his best football in a deeper role but Havertz operated across the frontline in the majority of his time with the Blues, earning comparisons to Robin van Persie from Arsenal icon Thierry Henry in the process.
