Kai Havertz says he absolutely loves playing alongside £45m Arsenal player

After a rough start to life in North London, Kai Havertz is now thriving at Arsenal and has been taking much more responsibility.

Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Brighton Hove Albion was an apt representation of the progress Havertz has made, a player determined to win games.

And as well as improving his own personal performance, the German has also been benefiting those around him at Arsenal.

Moreover, when speaking to Sky Sports recently, Havertz revealed that he is now loving life playing alongside one of his new Arsenal teammates.

Havertz named-dropped Gabriel Jesus as a player he’s enjoyed playing with, a partnership that is growing by the match.

The midfielder thought Jesus saw the game in the same vein as himself, something that could bode very well for Arsenal.

Havertz said: “I love playing with him because I think he sees the game the same way I do.

“And that’s why we get along very, very well on the pitch – but also off the pitch.”

Of course, much like Havertz, Jesus has also had his doubters recently.

But since returning from injury, the £45m Brazilian has been rather prolific in front of goal.

It’s clear that the form of both Havertz and Jesus will be crucial to Arsenal’s title push this season.

The duo will need to provide a considerable bulk of Arsenal’s goals if they are to go one better than last season.

Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah are Arsenal’s highest scorers in the Premier League this season, both with five goals each.

Havertz currently has four to his name, with Jesus contributing three goals.

Both have improved a lot in recent weeks so those numbers are bound to improve, but Arsenal will need the duo to keep pace with the likes of Saka.

Arsenal fans must be enjoying this new life often sat top of the league, and Havertz will be a big part of it continuing.

That being said, if Arsenal are thinking of adding some goals to their squad in January, then a £85m player they’ve been scouting could seem a good idea.
