Last season, the Gunners lacked creativity and penetration from midfield and heavily relied on forwards to score and create chances.
Kai Havertz was brought in to form a midfield partnership with Odegaard and create an all-round midfield that will boost Mikel Arteta’s options next season. His passing in the final third is the most noticeable attribute. Havertz is a versatile player who can play in an advanced midfielder role and also as a forward. He is an excellent movement off the ball which is an essential attribute for every attacker. It’s understandable why so many elite clubs were interested in Havertz given his incredible passing, dribbling at pace and pressing stats in the top flight.
