The German made the switch across London in a deal worth £65m as the Gunners look to bolster their options ahead of the new campaign. Havertz's former side have seen plenty of new names arrive and have had to offload some notable stars, Havertz among them. It is to Arsenal's gain however as the versatile forward has begun embedding himself in the systems at their London Colney base. Havertz will offer Mikel Arteta with plenty of options in the final third with the 24-year-old capable of playing in a variety of positions. The Spanish coach said upon his arrival: "Kai is a player of top quality. He has great versatility and is an intelligent player. He will bring a huge amount of extra strength to our midfield and variety to our play. We welcome Kai and his family to Arsenal Football Club and we are all excited to start working with him when we start pre-season training soon." The new signing added: "The mentality in the Arsenal squad is very high and you can feel that. That was one of the reasons why it has been so hard to play against Arsenal recently. The aim is to win trophies and I'm going to give everything to do that for the supporters and everyone at the club.
