Arsenal get exciting Mikel Arteta message over summer transfer after Newcastle United win

Mikel Arteta has been told why he can take credit for Kai Havertz's recent form for Arsenal.

The Gunners moved back to two points behind leaders Liverpool in the Premier League table after they claimed a 4-1 win over Newcastle United at the weekend. Arsenal are in third place and also one point behind second-placed Manchester City in the league standings.

Havertz scored Arsenal's second goal in the win over Newcastle with a close-range finish after a Gabriel Martinelli cross. It was the German's seventh goal in all competitions and sixth in the Premier League.

His goal against Newcastle was the first time this season that Havertz has scored in back-to-back league matches. The 24-year-old put Arsenal 2-0 in front in the 24th minute just six minutes after a Sven Botman own goal opened the scoring.

Arsenal signed Havertz from Chelsea in a £65 million deal last summer. Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has explained why Arteta deserves to take the credit for Havertz's recent goalscoring form, and why the forward is continuing to improve with the Gunners.

«Kai Havertz has been getting better and better for Arsenal, he looks like he belongs in this side,» Redknapp told BetVictor.

«I still don’t know where this lad’s best position is but that’s not necessarily a bad thing! He played up front at the weekend and led the line well. He’s got everything you’d want in a modern footballer; he just needs to put it all together. You look at the clubs he’s been at and what he’s achieved in his career, that’s not by accident.
