The Germany international was instrumental in his title-chasing side’s 3-0 win at Brighton.
Mikel Arteta believes Kai Havertz is benefitting from feeling the love at Arsenal and has challenged the forward to maintain his red-hot recent form.
The 24-year-old was instrumental in his title-chasing side’s 3-0 win at Brighton on Saturday, doubling their lead following Bukayo Saka’s first-half penalty before setting up Leandro Trossard to complete the scoring.Arsenal are in a three-way tussle for the title with Liverpool and Manchester City and manager Arteta knows Havertz is central to their chances of ending the club’s 20-year wait to be champions.
“He has the appreciation from the rest of the players and the staff at the club and now our supporters for sure.” He now has nine league goals in 23 starts this season, in addition to five assists, and is thriving playing as a central striker.“A lot of the time players decide where they have to play, and we can have certain ideas, but then you see certain relationships and some things flow,” said Arteta.
