Arsenal’s recent surge in form owes much to the contributions of Kai Havertz, who has become a pivotal figure for the Gunners. The German international, who joined Arsenal from Chelsea in a high-profile £65 million transfer, has silenced skeptics with his performances on the pitch.
Under Mikel Arteta’s guidance, Havertz has flourished, becoming a standout player in the Premier League. His talent has been on full display, with a tally of four goals and two assists in just the last four outings for Arsenal. His goal-scoring prowess was particularly evident in the dramatic victory over Brentford, where his last-minute goal proved decisive.
Ian Wright, an Arsenal icon, has not held back in his admiration for Havertz. On Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, Wright extolled Havertz’s virtues, highlighting his ability to deliver when it matters most. Wright’s endorsement is a testament to Havertz’s growing reputation as a player who thrives under pressure, earning him the moniker of a “big game player.”
Havertz’s impact at Arsenal has been transformative. His seamless integration into Arteta’s system and his clutch performances have made him an indispensable asset for the North London club. As Arsenal continues to compete at the highest level, Havertz’s role as a key player in their arsenal is undeniable. With his prime years ahead of him, the German star’s future at Arsenal looks bright, and he is poised to etch his name into the annals of the club’s storied history.
“Just look at what he’s done. Since the time he has got here, he’s done the same things; obviously, he wasn’t scoring at the same rate as he is now,” Wright said on Sky Sports.
“He’s a big game player, he’s our main focal point… he can do everything.” In addition to this, the pundit said that Havertz “scores big goals” and it is clear that the Gunners legend has been impressed by the 24-year-old.
The German star will need to produce more big moments over the coming weeks as Mikel Arteta’s side chase the Premier League title. If he can do that, he will forever be a hero to the Arsenal faithful.
