How this former Chelsea star may have changed Arteta’s transfer plan

Arsenal star and Germany international Kai Havertz’s impressive form in front of goal for the Gunners has made manager Mikel Arteta consider a rethink in the club’s transfer plans for the summer, according to the UK Mirror.

Before Havertz’s poor start at Emirates took an unexpected turn, Arteta believed a new striker would be a priority in the summer window, ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Spaniard manager was determined to bring in a player to both serve as back-up and compete with the club current No. 9 Gabriel Jesus.

However, with the look of things, Arteta’s plan for a new striker may no longer be necessary.

There are speculations that Arsenal may still sign a new striker, but the calibre and experience of their new man may take some by surprise.

With former Chelsea star now the Gunners’ new source of regular goals, with five in his last seven, Arteta may opt for a younger player who can have time to develop and mature.
