Following another fine performance for the club, Arteta said to Arsenal Media:
‘You can tell [his confidence has grown], he takes the ball and he runs with the ball. He’s on high press, he goes full gas, the way he holds the ball, the position he takes in the box. He’s an attacking midfielder, he plays as a nine, you don’t know where he is, that’s his football brain. His focus now is ‘I’m going to win the game, I’m going to do it’ and that’s a different thing.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Havertz has simply been brilliant for us, and he is now getting the recognition that he deserves.
He remained focused and continued to work hard when the start of his career at the Emirates did not meet expectations.
We now expect him to keep improving, and hopefully, we will celebrate winning some trophies together.

I never doubted Kai, even when he was struggling, I knew somehow he would come good for us, now we are reaping the benefits of having faith in him. I believe something great is in store for us Gunners.
I totally agree, something good is coming.
Yes that’s the sign of a huge player, having gone behind, The Big German took responsibility and put his shoulder’s to the wheel.
I’ll never forget seeing Kai in tears after the last game against Everton. It felt like he had been part of our team for years. This season, something has definitely changed in him, as Arteta has mentioned several times. He’s braver, more responsible, and it’s become very personal for him. You can see it.
Kai is determined to repay the trust and love he received from the manager and players during the toughest period of his career, when he was scapegoated and called horrible things not just by Chelsea fans, but also by fans of his new club. His turnaround has been nothing short of exemplary. His mentality is immense, and he seems to understand that he owes it to his team and manager for their support. That’s someone with a dangerous level of motivation.
I will hold my hand up and say I was one of the fans castigating him at the start of last season!
Amazing vision by Arteta to see what Kai could do for our team so hats off to both for their perseverance.
I remember Odegaard and Saka letting Havertz take a penalty which must have given him so much confidence in his teammates !
He has amazing stats and now we are looking at him Nd Saka as the main players
Amazing turnaround and congrats to Havertz
He will score all day against the lower teams that do not press Arsenal, but still to prove himself in the bigger games where Arsenal have to defend more. E.g. Against Atantala. But he has impressed at times, when he is more forward with space against lesser teams and when he is not having to defend when Arsenal are under pressure. Time will tell, when we see the overall picture at the end of the season. So far just 2 goals in 13 euro games, but impressed in his last Champions League game and I hope that is a sign of his improvement in the bigger games. We will see at the end of the season. Fingers crossed he doesn’t get injured, as Jesus is no real back up.
