“When you look at the numbers – I mean there’s definitely a player in there – but for a player of his ability, it doesn’t match the numbers. They need to improve. You know though that you have to pay £60-70m for a squad player nowadays. So he’s going to play his part but whether he’ll be a regular or not, I don’t think so.”
Kai Havertz was regarded as one the most promising young talents during his time at Bundesliga. He even helped Chelsea in winning the UEFA Champions League. However, other than that his performance at Chelsea was very ordinary. it will be interesting to see if Arteta can get out the best of him.
