The key to Kai Havertz’s success at Arsenal — Mikel Arteta
The key to Kai Havertz’s excellent form at Arsenal, according to Mikel Arteta, is that he just wanted to be loved.
The German joined the Gunners last year following a lackluster stint at Chelsea, where some fans questioned the forward’s £65 million purchase.
Despite having a rather difficult start, Havertz has grown to be an integral part of Arteta’s team and evolved into a strong forward when it was believed he was bought as a midfielder.
His boss claims that the 25-year-old, who scored 14 goals in the previous campaign, only needed a little extra help. He has already scored five goals in nine games in all competitions this season.
On the reason for his fine form, Arteta said of Havertz: ‘Love. He’s a player that needs a lot of love.
‘He needs to feel protected, he needs to feel chemistry around him. In football and in life he gives so much to everybody, so he needs that connection with the people.
‘He got that from ourselves, and the moment he started to grow with our supporters I think that gave him a different dimension, different confidence.’
Arteta also hailed the quality of the Germany international and his team in general, for the increasingly encouraging performances of the former Chelsea man.
‘Because he’s so good, because he wants it so much and because he’s surrounded by great players around him,’ Arteta said of Havertz’s goal-scoring heroics. ‘The fact that he’s gone through some difficult moments just made him a better player, and a great person I think.
‘He certainly has all the qualities and he certainly has the ambition to [score 20 goals a season]. In the end, scoring goals sometimes are very small details and a lot of things have to go for you, but he’s got it and his mindset has changed a lot in regards to that. He certainly has ability to do it in my opinion.’
Havertz will hope to add to his goal tally when Arsenal host Southampton at 3pm on Saturday in the Premier League.
