Kai Havertz is reportedly set to sign a lucrative €20million deal with Arsenal. The 24-year-old’s ‘supply man’ status may not be accurate as the Gunners pay big bucks for former Chelsea stars who could be key elements in their attack.
Kai Havertz was Chelsea’s centerpiece and the highest scoring outfielder. His constant presence on the pitch could not prevent a disastrous season for the Blues, who finished in 12th place.
Where Havertz belongs tactically has been a hotly debated issue among Arsenal fans over the past two weeks. Some see him as a midfield understudy for Granit Xhaka, while others think he could contend for one of the attacking spots.

A Bild report claims Arsenal have signed Havertz to a €20m annual deal, which sounds like a lot of ‘utility’. His salary package appears to match what he earned at Chelsea, but he is also the highest-paid star in the Emirates.
Even €20m a year seems high for the Gunners, although he could earn more if bonuses are taken into account. The news will draw a lot of criticism from North London fan bases who have yet to fully appreciate Havertz. They want to know why Arteta was so keen to sign him, but many believe he would be a good player for Arsenal.
The report also claims that Declan Rice could sign a similarly lucrative deal once he completes his move from West Ham. The Gunners recently agreed a record deal for the England international with the London team.
Havertz news reports that the 24-year-old German could have surpassed Arsenal star Bukayo Saka’s payout since his contract extension. All in all, the former Chelsea star could be the Emirates’ highest-paid star, which will put him under even more pressure.
