Mikel Arteta has been pleased with the form displayed by most of his Arsenal players since the beginning of the new year. The Spanish manager is content with their performances and finds it challenging to single out a standout performer within the group unless specific players are mentioned.
In anticipation of their upcoming match against Brighton this weekend, Arteta was questioned about the in-form Kai Havertz.
Havertz’s arrival at the Emirates didn’t generate much excitement among the Arsenal fanbase, given their lack of enthusiasm for his performances at Chelsea the previous season. Moreover, Havertz struggled to find his footing at the start of his Arsenal tenure and faced heavy criticism every time he took to the pitch.
Nevertheless, in recent weeks, Havertz has emerged as a standout player in many Arsenal matches, gradually vindicating the decision to bring him to the club and demonstrating his potential to excel.
Asked if we have seen the best of the German, Arteta told Arsenal Media:
“I don’t think so. At this age, and he’s just started with us, it’s his first season, he’s building those relationships. He’s moving in those positions as well and he’s that good, and with the intelligence that he has he can be much better.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Arteta has enjoyed working with Havertz, and the German’s transformation is yet more proof that we can trust the manager to make the right purchases on the market.
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.
OT: Just wondered if Dan has sent the prediction for this week’s game as I am not able to see it.
Nor me IGL
I asked in another article too
All i want is ruthlessness from now till season’s end, in the league at least. Time for the display of true colours, COYG!!!
Yes improvement except the number of bookings he’s getting.
Two more yellows and he’s banned GB – I also wish he’d stay on his feet more, although it’s impossible to know if and when he actually dives, as the pace of the game is so fast.
Yellow card 2 games ban reset after matchday 32 which is today if I’m correct so he can’t get banned since if receives 2 yellows then its a red and yellow don’t count.
