Kai Havertz's ex-Chelsea teammate tells him what he can expect at Arsenal after £65m move

Kai Havertz has officially been unveiled as an Arsenal player after the Gunners forked out £65million to pry him away from London rivals Chelsea.

The 24-year-old notched the winning goal in the Champions League final for the Blues back in 2021 but still leaves Stamford Bridge with a feeling that he underwhelmed during his three years at the club. However, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has clearly seen enough to deem Havertz worthy of a sizeable transfer fee as the Gunners aim to go one better than last season and win the title.

There is always a sense of controversy when a player makes the short trip across the capital to a direct London rival, but Havertz is not the first person to leave Chelsea for Arsenal. In fact, he's not even the first ex-Blues player in the current crop of Gunners.
