Chelsea are hoping to trim down their squad and offload some of their high earners. This means players like Kai Havertz could be on their way out. Surprisingly Arsenal are one of the teams keen on bringing the German to North London.
Havertz is a versatile attacker, but hasn’t been great for Chelsea. So why do Arsenal want him?
JJ Bull explains.

He’s a bit like Thomas Muller, in a way. Havertz doesn’t really have a defined position, but is at his best when he’s effectively given a free role - which is how you’d describe Muller. The problem he’s had at Chelsea isn’t that he can’t score or anything like that, it’s that he’s been used the wrong way; effectively being forced to play a role that diminishes his best attributes.

Totally wrong mate ... to compare havertz to muller is criminal .. muller is 10 times the player havertz would ever become.. all that work off the ball for havertz means nothing when it comes to the simple chances simple passes he messus up the easy stuff . The best way to describe havertz having watched him play for 5 years is that he is simply great at finding space but can't do anything well beyond that. I would say exactly the same if he left for a non rival club , dont tell me you lot didn't slander this man for 3 years and called him one or the biggest flops in prem history.. the guy is a bundeliga player at best .. needs to much time and space on the ball to be effective like werner .. doesn't have the physicality to hold on the ball and gets bullied easily .. stop the revisionism you all said he was washed and crap .. but now he isn't? Guys the biggest flop in prem history in my opinion for the price involved and played so many games and can only remember him having maybe 5 great games the entire time .

Key thing in my eyes is Havertz's height and aerial ability. Arsenal sometimes became a bit one-dimensional in their attack, and I often thought that having a tall Toney-type striker would be a great option. Obviously Toney is a more conventional striker but Havertz can still help provide that diversity up front.

I think what Arteta values most in players is attitude and character. Just like Pep he looks for an exact profile to fit into the team. Havertz has shown nothing but complete willingness to play in uncomfortable position, And tried his best to adapt to what he was required to under every different Chelsea manager. Never seen him complain or have any drama that alot of players in his situation would have.

You hit the nail right on the head there. Mikel wants to play a box midfield (4-2-4 defensively) with four players in a line stopping the opposition playing out from the back just like City did last season. They had KDB and Haaland along side one another and then Grealish to the left of Haaland and Bernado to the right of KDB and then Rodri and Gundogan behind KDB and Haaland in case the ball movement defeats the first line. Mikel Arteta is adapting to what City's best formulas are to winning, he's not buying players to please us as Arsenal fans, the bigger picture is defeating Man City in a title race with tactics and a versatile squad (shout out John Stones).

@eddo8762 11 ай бұрын

Part of his problem at Chelsea is that the team simply have no creators apart from him. Most of the wingers they had are really finishers or are the sort that latches on to through balls, which meant Havertz took on a more build up role. Not making the comparison as a player, but is sort of like Messi became almost a full time creator with Mbappe and Neymar, as PSG lacked the linking man. In Leverkusen, he had the benefit of Volland often being the focal point of attack, and the more hectic nature of BuLi meant he had a lot of room to showcase his speed and skill. I think with Havertz, his strength is that he can fulfill a lot of roles and he really can slot in next or as Odegaard and Jesus. The challenge for Arteta is probably giving him a consistent role; he was shunted around at Chelsea a bit until they put him as a CF, but that team just weren't functional. And also, back up for Saka. Arsenal last year simply lacked bodies, to have one guy who is can cover so many positions alone is hard, let alone someone who was a highly sought after talent.

@jackwilliam2965 11 ай бұрын

People forget he was considered a world top talent when he joined Chelsea, he didnt all over sudden become crap at Chelsea, Arteta will know how to use him perfectly!

@mattlow1933 11 ай бұрын

Putting such a clever player in that level of instability then taking him to a stable club like arsenal is a recipe for disaster for other pl teams. Mentally he is top, he is prem ready, and sure thing he is greater than any cfc player I have ever seen. Arteta won big time.

If you saw played a very young Toni Kroos back when he still was in the german league that’s what Kai really is, he plays better coming from behind in the middle of the field , Kroos was so instrumental for Germany winning that World Cup for them prior to transferring to Real Madrid where he became a real legend, that’s the type of player Kai eventually will be, it’s truly a shame Chelsea is letting him go because they don’t have a player that smart in the midfield, best wishes to Kai and I’ll rooting for him in the german squad, big lost for Chelsea, Pochettino should have at least try to stay with him for this season, Kai is a thinker not just a player

@TheOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 11 ай бұрын

I can see how he could possibly fit in this system but I would think that what Arsenal lack the most right now is a ruthless finisher. Jesus and Saka, although great, don't have that ruthlessness. I believe Martinelli does. I don't see why Havertz would be a better option than say Vlahovic who might be available for a similar price.

Mount when for less and I think is the better player so its not a full mid he want in Kai but hes also not a solo striker. I havent a clue where he fits into this team other than a replacement for Ode

You are right; Kai will certainly thrive under Arteta, helping Arsenal to solidify their usually fluid attacking play.

the 3-2-2-3 on offense would work wonders with Rice in Partey´s place. Everybody but Martinelli works their asses off outta possession.

@huubhuijbens8816 11 ай бұрын

In this video I also now immediately get why Arsenal also want Jurriën Timber! Timber is a defender who is a very sensible build-up player of a remarkable young age. Timber and Arsenal could thrive extremely well if he would play right back.

@blackmetalrockdeath 11 ай бұрын

Great signing for depth but we really need more. We better get atleast 2 def mid and 2 def. Maybe add one more young clinical striker to the team or Eddie should play huge role next season. Huge risk for me

@maldegaar 11 ай бұрын

Lot's of people think he'll play number 8 in place or Xhaka. I don't get it. I have Willian vibes. But I wasn't keen on Ramsdale and have learned to withhold my judgement since and our transfer strategy has been 🔥 recently

@baylor8321 11 ай бұрын

Arteta doesn’t value hard positions but the ability to be fluid during any game state. Xhaka made a ton of runs into the box from his position and that’s what arteta would like from havertz. Havertz will most likely roam around the pitch to create overloads or make a run into the box which will create a new dynamic. We played our best football when our forwards had complete fluidity which allows us to adapt to whatever teams are doing. Low block, high press, double teaming saka and martinelli. I genuinely think people underestimate what a good environment like arsenal will do to a player. Arteta’s talent ID is elite do we must trust him on this. He can also rotate Jesus and either directly or indirectly saka by shifting Jesus over to the wing and saka gets to have a rest for a game. He fills a lot of roles and helps with depth too.

I think he might play mainly as a left 8. But incase of no jesus / saka i can see him provide cover at CF & RW. Great analysis tho.

since zinchenko always inverts havertz will probably go much higher and rice(if they sign him) will anchor the midfield
