Arsenal are reportedly prepared to cash in on Kai Havertz at the end of the current season, with plans already in place to replace the German attacker. The club’s planning reflects a broader strategy to refresh its squad and maintain competitiveness at the highest level.
Havertz has remained an important figure within the Arsenal setup, consistently enjoying the trust and support of Mikel Arteta. The manager regards him as one of his most reliable attacking options, and when fit, he is frequently included in the starting line-up to contribute to the team’s offensive play.
Plans for Change
Despite his role in the squad, Arsenal appear open to moving on from Havertz as part of their long-term planning. The club believe they can continue to perform strongly with him in the team, yet this has not prevented them from considering a potential departure.
At the end of the season, they are expected to entertain offers for his signature, indicating that discussions around his future are already underway. According to Football365, Arsenal have identified a potential successor and are positioning themselves to act decisively should suitable bids arrive.
Replacement Strategy
The report claims the Gunners will go all out to sign Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid if they manage to offload Havertz at the end of this season. This highlights their proactive approach to squad management and their intent to strengthen key areas.
There is a belief within Arsenal that a market exists for the German international, making this an opportune moment to secure a transfer fee. By doing so, they would be able to reinvest in a player capable of enhancing their attacking output.
This approach underlines Arsenal’s determination to evolve. While Havertz has contributed during his time at the club, the decision to consider his sale reflects a willingness to make difficult choices in pursuit of sustained progress and greater attacking efficiency.

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS! Anyone who would like to contribute an Article or Video opinion piece on JustArsenal, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us through this link…
The first player who needs to go is gyokeres.
He cant control a through ball, his positioning is poor , he offers nothing. Zero intelligence and is ultimately a bottom half PL player.
Keep havertz, he can link up play and is intelligent.
Our wingers and creative struggling is because that lumbering oaf gyokeres cant link up with them.
Even merino, who isn’t a striker, our creative and wingers linked up and liked playing with him.
Certainly doesn’t make sense talking about Havertz of all people.
Also, the Martinelli side has been unceremoniously week for years now since Granit Xhaka left ….. and we talk about Havertz??
If truth be told, neither Havertz nor Gyokeres are top quality strikers and i,m afraid the same sentiments apply to Maduke who’s first touch is lacking ,as is his decision making.Let’s hope our recruitment team are more competent in future.
Agreed on Gyokeres and Madueke.
Makes sense.
While the Manager may have these views on Havertz, I know many Arsenal co.mitted fans and not one supports his view.
In fact most of us share the opinion that recent results and failures in at Mr Artetas door and he should be immediately replaced to stop the rot he has single handedly caused.
Julian Alvarez is 26 years old and only scored 8 goals in La Liga this year. Fernando Torres is the same age and has scored 14.
It’s not all about scoring goals.We need front three players who have an ability to create chances and score goals.None of the recognised forwards in our squad are capable of doing so in a regular basis, including Saka, and not one of them would be starters for the likes of PSG, RM,Bayern and Man City.Until we can bring in forwards who can take on defenders and create chances we shall continue to fall short when it comes winning the top trophies.
Wasn’t that the argument for signing Gabriel Jesus before we signed him? He doesn’t score enough goals but he does everything else?
The trouble is Joe, he can no longer do “everything else”
If we sign Alvarez, how long until the first post calling him a City reject and a terrible signing? More or less than 2 months?
I would not go for Alvarez ,who is overrated imo.
I would not go for Alvarez either, not worth the money IMHO.
The current tactics don’t suit a traditional goal scoring striker; that is why we see striker after striker struggle in the current system.
Arteta has tried Jesus (offers a lot in versatility, but nothing in goals), to Havertz (a facilitator more than a goal scorer), and neither has worked in my opinion.
They helped us get to second, but they don’t produce enough to get us over the line, hence why Gyokeres was brought in last Summer.
At this point, 6 years into the process, I don’t think any striker will produce 20 PL goals or more like many have hoped. Therefore I hope to see a change in tactics before shelling out tens of millions on another striker who likely will produce the same meager goal tally we see now in this system.
I want to keep Harverz, who is a good and intelligent player. Harverz is getting better and better as he gets more playing time, but this season he has unfortunately been hit by injuries. I would replace Gyökeres, who I think has shown too little. He has had plenty of playing time, but he has not managed to score the goals we expected.
Even though Osimhen is an expensive player, he is a guarantee of goals, he has shown that wherever he plays. It’s the kind of player of his calibre we’re sighing for. Had we had him from the start of the season, I’m pretty sure that the PL title would have been secured.
Alvarez is IMO overrated.
