‘I could have easily helped Arsenal WIN against Fulham yesterday but Arteta kept on BENCH’- Arsenal star is set to leave for £40m because he’s angry with Mikel Arteta’s decision of always using Kai Havertz to play his position every time – ‘He’s very UNHAPPY at Arsenal’
‘I could have easily helped Arsenal WIN against Fulham yesterday but Arteta kept on BENCH’- Arsenal star is set to leave for £40m because he’s angry with Mikel Arteta’s decision of always using Kai Havertz to play his position every time – ‘He’s very UNHAPPY at Arsenal’
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is facing a potential problem in his squad as a result of the imminent signing of Kai Havertz from Chelsea.
Arsenal have agreed a £65m deal with Chelsea which would see the Germany international move across London this summer.
It is believed that Arsenal will pay the bulk of the £65m fee in three instalments, with a small percentage of the figure made up in performance-related add-ons.
While the transfer activity is positive news for Arsenal supporters, the imminent arrival of Havertz may have created an unwanted problem for Arteta.
According to The Sun, Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has been ‘unsettled’ by the club’s approach for Havertz.
Nketiah, 24, played a key role for the Gunners last season, stepping up when Gabriel Jesus was injured for several months midway through the campaign.
He contributed nine goals and three assists in 39 appearances but lost his place in the side once Jesus returned from injury.
Will Nketiah leave Arsenal?
The signing of Havertz could push Nketiah further down the pecking order at the Emirates, although The Athletic claim Arteta is considering converting Havertz into a midfielder.
Nevertheless, his arrival presents a potential problem for Nketiah and has put other clubs in the Premier League – including Crystal Palace and West Ham – on ‘red alert’.
“Eddie’s at a key stage in his career. He feels he’s now proved he can score goals at the highest level and the next step is to be playing week in week out,” a source told The Sun.
