Havertz arrived at the Emirates Stadium at the end of June in a deal worth £65million, having failed to establish himself at Chelsea. The Gunners opted to hand him a mega wage despite his failure to impress at Stamford Bridge. It is a salary that places him at the top of Arsenal's wage structure, ahead of the likes of captain Martin Odegaard and star academy product Bukayo Saka. Despite that though, Havertz would appear to be facing a battle to be included in Arsenal's starting line-up. Boss Arteta deployed a 4-3-3 system last term as the Gunners battled for the title, with Odegaard, Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli in the attacking positions. A space could open up in midfield if Thomas Partey departs the club. But former Premier League star Darren Bent believes that the Gunners should keep hold of the Ghanian international. He also urged Arteta to bench Havertz, insisting there were better options in the squad. He tweeted: "I'd keep Thomas Partey, Partey Rice Odegaard that's a serious midfield combination, give Rice more of a license to go forward." A Gunners fan replied: "Where's Havertz playing then", to which Bent responded: "He don't." HAVE YOUR SAY! Should Kai Havertz go straight into Arsenal's starting line-up? Comment below. Arteta does not appear likely to take Bent's advice on board though, handing him his debut in the 1-1 draw against Nurnberg. And the Spaniard has previously spoken of his delight at signing the German. '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," the Gunners boss said.){kind=link}
