Gabriel Jesus has spoken about Kai Havertz’s return to form as one of the best players in the Arsenal squad.
The attacker struggled at the start of his spell at the Emirates and faced heavy criticism from the fans.
Havertz was not a popular signing, and many questioned why the Gunners signed him in the first place.
However, Mikel Arteta continued to support him, assuring supporters that the German would become an important player in his team.
The manager’s prophecy has come true, as Havertz has played a crucial role in keeping Arsenal in the title race.
In recent months, he has emerged as one of their most important players.
Even his strongest critics have now acknowledged their misjudgment and admitted that he has forced them to eat their words.
Fans can see that he has improved significantly, but what brought about this change?
Jesus was asked, and he told the Arsenal Matchday Programme:
“Everyone here knows how important it is to be fit and playing, and Kai has been fit and playing well, scoring goals. The coach believes in him and that’s so important for a player’s confidence. It wasn’t easy for him at first but we supported him and now he’s playing with a smile on his face.”

Jesus understands what it means to be fit and available. In modern football, player who can go on a marathon when needed is far more productive than one who can produce only in sprints. It brings more stability to the team and logically better for team chemistry.
Part of the reason I appreciated Xhaka and the reason I would want Kai to improve upon his Goal tally rather than bringing a top striker who only plays half the games in a season.
Individual players and their form at different stages of the season are really important factors for the title run. But since that cannot be certain at all times, it is important for the club’s culture to keep the togetherness and sense of teamwork – on and off the pitch – all the time.
