Arsenal 'looking to sell Kai Havertz this summer'
The 24-year-old was hit-and-miss during his three-year spell with Chelsea, where he was deployed in a variety of positions and struggled to settle under a handful of head coaches.
Nevertheless, the Gunners shelled out a whopping £65m to bring him to the Emirates, where Mikel Arteta has tried to mould him into a deeper midfield role following Granit Xhaka's exit for Bayer Leverkusen.
However, such a move has only yielded limited success, and Havertz has often borne the brunt of fan frustrations, despite Arteta's pleas to keep faith with the former Bayer Leverkusen man.
Havertz hit a slight purple patch over the winter, netting three goals in five matches against Luton Town, Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford, as well as scoring in a 6-0 Champions League crushing of Lens.
Arsenal marched to an identical win over West Ham United on Sunday in the Premier League, but Havertz did not directly contribute to any of those goals and is without a goal or assist since the turn of the year.
Arteta has still insisted on naming Havertz in the first XI, starting him up front against Liverpool before he dropped back into midfield at the London Stadium, but he was equally quiet in both matches.
According to Fichajes, Arsenal staff are already at the end of their tether with Havertz, and the club will entertain bids for the under-performing midfielder when the summer window rolls around.
Havertz is under contract at the Emirates until 2028, but Arsenal cannot expect to recoup anything near to the £65m they paid Chelsea over the summer given his inability to resurrect his career in North London.
