Kai Havertz was a versatile, if not prolific, attacker for Chelsea. At Arsenal, he could be the alternative elite creative force that they need. Sometimes he’s a nine, sometimes he’s a ten, but under Mikel Arteta could he be an eight?

i thought he would maybe come on as a sub for the person playing the number 8 to try help arsenal win a game rather than start to be honest but that sounds good aswell.
well here's to hoping then T_T
But he is not a good defensive player.
I called it in your last video on Havertz.
Delusional Arsenal fans😂😂
Could it be that he did better & scored more goals at Bayer Leverkusen because he was in a different League?
cope harder
As our left 8 I am really excited about Kai, worries about his defending though
Unsuccessful 9? Lmao is that even real
The unsuccessful 9 😭
Deluded
Nice editing the quality of you guys videos are insane
Gg
Lol Arsenal funded Chelsea's acquisition of Caicedo😂😂
I don't doubt his workrate off the ball coz running is his biggest strength but i worry about his ball retention ability that is required to play in midfield specially for possession team like arsenal
Odegaard at the bottom of the box 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Arteta could be watching this thinking "wow, that's right, I'll play him 8 then" 😂
On the bench
German tax
Chelsea rejects are generally great players
Sorry him or Odegaard arent playing as a 8 out of possession
As a Chelsea fan I think he will be mustard in that attacking 8 role. I’m gutted we couldn’t find a way for him to thrive because despite what most Twitter experts think he’s an incredibly talented player.
No
Re introduce Attacking midfielder position like Ozil, would be perfect fit for Havertz to develop
Parte, Odegaard and havertz is so offensive I dont think he will play 8, I guess more n9 or false 9
Hes another player that cannot put the ball in the back of the net. Just like jesus. Arteta masterclass
There has to be someone better for that kinda money? 😂
Still gonna miss Kai. Probably for the best but I always wanted him to succeed at Chelsea
As exciting as havertz in the left sided 8 is, that left side becomes incredible weak defensively with zinchenko and potentially kiwior if gabi is ever out.
Best
No
Are expected goals comparing the striker to the average player? Or does expected goals compare how well they’ve done compared to previous seasons
The majority of Arsenal fans have no clue how we play with or without the ball.
Havertz trash😅
He holds up play in the final 3rd…
