Mikel Arteta will likely be doing a lot of experimenting in pre-season before deciding on his preferred Arsenal starting XI to take on Nottingham Forest on August 12. Kai Havertz already looks set for a significant role change in comparison to his time at Chelsea and two other Gunners players could be heading for a similar outcome.
The Germany international completed a £65 million move from Stamford Bridge to Emirates Stadium to become Arteta's first summer signing. Given his struggles when playing at the tip of the attack for the Blues, interest arriving from the Gunners did not initially make sense, however Arteta's plans to use him in an advanced midfield role to replace Granit Xhaka soon came to light.
Scoring goals has clearly been proven as not his strongest trait, but arriving late into the box, his defensive work rate and picking up positions between the lines are certainly attributes he has and can develop in north London.
