James Maddison, Mason Mount, and Kai Havertz are three attacking midfielders afforded another chance to prove themselves as one of the brightest playmakers. Of the three, who will have a brilliant 2023-24 season? I know you’d say Havertz, and that is okay, considering all the analysis about the German and how his transfer is likened to the famous Chelsea exits who leave and flourish, like De Bruyne and Salah.
The ex-Liverpool star Steve Nicol feels that of the 3; Mason Mount is the one who could shine. Nicol claims if he were to choose who to sign between the three, he would sign Mount. if not Mount, Maddison would be his second pick, with Havertz his last option. He said on ESPN why he prefers them like that: “If I am picking a team, then I am going to rely on Mason Mount more than the other two (Havertz and Maddison).
“After that, I am going to rely on Maddison because when you get on the ball going forward. He can produce. The one I trust the least is Kai Havertz.
“Some can say that he (Mount) didn’t have a good season last year, that’s correct. But coupled with injury, he needed a break as well. But during the last three to four years, he has arguably been Chelsea’s best player going forward As a coach, I know what I am going to get from Mount.”
Going to next season, they’ll debate who made the best deals. Arteta and Edu hope a £65 million swoop of Havertz can be justified. Gooners believe if players like Martin Odegaard, Oleksandr Zinchenko and even Ben White, who many saw as overpriced, could turn out to be world-class, what would stop Havertz from living up to his potential and getting to his peak in an Arsenal shirt?

I understand where the writer is coming from and the easiest and laziest bet would to share his sentiments after all Mount is arguably the most stand out player in that malfunctioning outfit, base on his performance there.
But Havertz in my opinion is like a high performance fighter a jet in the theater of arm conflict, the advantage is greatly enhanced by who sits in the cockpit.
Last season, Mount was bang average at best.He buzzes about and achieves precious little which is one of the reasons why he did not figure in the England team.Havertz is a cut above Mount and I am confident he will go on to prove it in the red shirt.
Let us wait kai , mount and Madison to play for respective clubs were they have sign a new contracts but both of them are looking okay
Of those 3 Havertz is the biggest risk but with the highest potential. Maddision is the safest bet but you’re not going to get anything that you haven’t seen before, and I figure Mount is somewhere in between.
The decision to aught Havertz by Arsenal which was taken by them has been implemented as they have signed him.
Irrespective of weather they should have signed Mount or Maddison instead is now an academic exercise in fulidity. For,, the Gunners have made their choice to sign Kai Havertz from Chelsea this summer. And will certainly stand by their decision to sign him. Which of course is now irreversible.
So therefore, Arsenal will give Havertz all the supports and encouragement he will need to strive very well at Arsenal as from next season’s campaign in all competitions. And he’ll get them.
Let’s talk about these players once the season is under way. Until then everyone is free to have an opinion.
