Kai Havertz has surprised Martin Keown

W🧔ell, the man who made appearances for Arsenal ꦡtold Havertz after full-time that his aerial ability has stunned him.

While interviewing the man f𒆙rom Aachen on , Keown said: “It has surprised me (his aerial ability). There’s rarely a header you don’t win. Brilliant in the air.”

Arsenal even paid reference to the German’s aerial dominance in his on the club’s official website, writing: “Strong with either foot, at 6ft 4ins Kai🔯 is also very effective in the air, and more than a quarter of his Premier League goals were headed.”

Mikel Arteta will be delighted with Arsenal No.29

Havertz arguably should have won thඣe Man of the Match award today.

No player on the pitch made more tackles than his total of four – again shown by WhoSco💖red.
