According to Sky Sports, in the 14 games where Kai Havertz has played as a striker for Arsenal, the German has scored 9 goals and provided 8 assists, creating 17 goals in total. Havertz has proven his worth, suggesting Arsenal’s title challenge doesn’t require a new striker.
The report states that in the last 6 games, Havertz, playing as Arsenal’s center forward, has scored 4 goals and provided 4 assists, significantly boosting Arsenal’s attacking efficiency. Data shows that the Gunners have scored 19 goals in the last 6 games.
While many have called for Arsenal to sign a new striker to increase their title aspirations, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes Havertz is already the club’s top forward.
Since joining Arsenal, Havertz has started 14 Premier League games as a striker. With the exception of the 0-0 draw against Manchester City, Havertz has contributed at least one goal or assist in every other game.
Sky Sports believes that Havertz’s attacking midfield role didn’t suit him, and that playing as a striker allows him to unleash his full potential. The good news for Arteta is that Havertz is not the only in-form striker in the team. Gabriel Jesus can also be a crucial asset in Arsenal’s title race.
In the opening game of the Premier League, Havertz scored and assisted as Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Wolves. Sky Sports believes this performance was no fluke and that Havertz could even surpass these numbers if he maintains his form this season.
