"It’s looking really positive" - Journalist claims Arsenal new boy is impressing club staff in pre-season training
Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has made a great first impression on the training ground, according to Football.London journalist Kaya Kaynak.
The Germany international joined the Gunners from Chelsea for £65 million earlier this summer. He is reportedly enjoying life at the north London outfit, and former Blues teammate Jorginho's presence has eased his transition into the club.
Kaynak said on his YouTube channel (as quoted by The Boot Room):
He added:
Havertz brings three years of Premier League experience with the Blues, having joined the club from Bayer Leverkusen for around £75 million in 2020.
During his time at the west London outfit, he registered 139 appearances across all competitions, scoring 32 goals and providing 15 assists. Havertz played a crucial role in Chelsea's UEFA Champions League victory in 2021, scoring the winner in the final against Manchester City.
The German forward's European pedigree will be extremely beneficial for the Gunners, who have qualified for the Champions League for the first time in seven years.
Chelsea legend Pat Nevin believes Kai Havertz could become one of the greatest players of this generation at Arsenal. The retired Scottish winger lavished praise on the German, stating that he will shine at the Emirates under Mikel Arteta.
He told OLBG (via GOAL):
He added:
Nevin then claimed that the former Bayer Leverkusen star is yet to showcase his true abilities. The former Chelsea winger believes the Gunners have gotten the better end of the deal regarding Havertz's signing.
Nevin added:
He added:
Havertz will likely play as a midfielder for Arsenal, as was hinted by Arteta during the German's announcement.
