Arsenal appear to be on the verge🎃 💖of signing Kai Havertz.

Over the past few days, ♔speculation linking the Gunners and the Chelsea ace has been incredibly positive.

For instance, has reported that Arsenal’s move for 𒊎Havertz is ‘close to completion’🥂.

Appare🔯ntly, a formal announcement is ‘expected this week’♌, perhaps even in the next 24 hours, they said.

Arsenal will reportedly play aꦗround £65million for the 24-year-old, who’ll pen a five-year deal.

The has now published an in-depth🐓 piece regarding what Havertz will bring to Arsenal.

They also gave an insight into the player’s attitude. He’s said to be a ‘big self-critic’ who ‘accepts he’s und🦄erperformed’.

The Standard also looked at how Mikel Arteta could look to use Havertz once he’s 🍸in red and white.

‘Arteta believes he can use Havertz in a deeper midfield role, as a♐ No8 or a No10,’ they wrot🐬e.

‘While his abili🐲ty to🤡 play anywhere across the front-three will give Arsenal stronger options in attack.

‘Havertz believes he is more effective playing deeper, anཧd a prolonged spell in a new position – and in a settled environment at Arsenal – could help him flourish.

‘Arteta’s fluid😼, fast style of play will also suit the German, allowing him to 🔜show off his varied skillset.

‘His elegant first touch all♈ows team-mates to launch incisive, attacking moves, but his languid sꦐtyle has often led to a misconception that he is a soft touch.

‘But Havertz is a hard worker and often had so😼me of the best running data in the Chelsea squad.’

“Dennis Bergkamp, Robin van Persie, Dimitar Berbatov kind of player”

One paragraph in th🍸e article could be of particular interest to Arsenal fans, namely who Thomas Tuchel has compared Havertz to.

‘Tuchel said Havertz was “Dennis B⭕ergkamp, Robin van Persie, Dimitar Berbatov kind of player”, they wrote.

‘While in Germany he is often described as a combination of Michael ꧒Ballack and♋ Mesut Ozil.’

Obv💙iously many an Arsenal fan remembers – or has seen footage of – Bergkamp at his scintillating best foಞr the Gunners at Highbury.

Likewise with✅ Robin van Persie, who lit up the Emirates Stadium from the mid-2000s to the 🍌early 2010s.

Perhaps Mikel Arteta has discovered his own Bergkamp in the ‘sensational‘ Havertz.

If that’s the case, things could get very exciting at N5 ne🌸xt term with the exciting Germany international in the fold.
