Kai Havertz remains under contract at Arsenal until 2028, yet there has been no movement towards offering him an improved deal at this stage. This lack of progress has raised questions about his long-term future at the club, particularly given his mixed availability since arriving in North London.
Since completing his move from Chelsea, Havertz has proven to be a useful member of the first team. Arsenal have continued their push to remain among the leading sides in both English and European football, and his versatility has contributed to that ambition.
Contribution and ongoing concerns
Mikel Arteta specifically requested the signing of the German international and has consistently shown trust in him by selecting him whenever possible. As a Champions League winner, Havertz brought valuable experience to the squad and has often been relied upon in key moments.
However, his time at Arsenal has been hampered by recurring injuries, limiting his ability to maintain a consistent run of matches. While his quality remains evident, these fitness concerns have created uncertainty regarding his long-term reliability within the squad.
The club had hoped to see him establish a sustained presence in the team, but his inability to string together consecutive appearances has reportedly influenced their thinking.
Contract talks and future outlook
As reported by Team Talk, there were previously explorative discussions about extending Havertz’s contract earlier than expected. These talks indicated that Arsenal were at one stage open to securing his future beyond the current agreement.
However, the report suggests that those discussions have now been abandoned, with the club instead focusing on managing his fitness. This shift in approach reflects a more cautious stance as they assess his ongoing value to the team.
There are also indications that Arsenal may no longer be fully committed to keeping him as part of their long-term plans. While no final decision has been made, the situation suggests a period of uncertainty for the player.
How matters develop will likely depend on his ability to remain fit and consistently contribute, as Arsenal weigh their options moving forward.

Except his health and form improve markedly over the next few months, I don’t think Havertz deserves a new contract.
In fact, but for his massive wages which would make him relatively unmarketable, I would say sell him and get a younger proper target-man to support Gyokeres
We should not extend his contract under current terms. I believe that, while he is often a very good and useful player in the side, his high wages have simply never been appropriate for what he’s provided or shown as likely to provide.
Let’s face it, none of our recruits from Chelsea have set the heather on fire, including Havertz.There are occasions when he done very well for us ,but with his increasing propensity to injury, i would not be disappointed if he moved on, providing we have a suitable replacement lined up.
Careful now.
I’ve learned on this site that you’re not supposed to criticize a player based on the fact that he’s from Chelsea.
Anyways, Gittens, Garnacho and Fofana loading this summer
Its not inconceivable that Noni or Havertz could score us the goal(s) tomorrow that help win us the 2026 EPL or the CL.
In the event either of them do so (or contribute to this) where would be the merit in showing either player the exit? Not very good practice getting rid of a player injured whilst on football duty, at training or otherwise at work.
So scoring or contributing to a goal against Atletico Madrid is evidence enough for a player to remain at our club?
So if one scores and the other doesn’t, then we can keep one but let the other go?
By your logic, their contribution(s) since they’ve been here plays no part in considering their stay.
Not very smart I must say
NB:
‘tomorrow’ reference is in a wider sense than you conceived, read again.
Any logic (i may have) is certified with LLB Hons since 1997 how about your logic? Crickets 🙂 .
