Despite not quite succeeding in ending their Premier League title drought the previous year, Arsenal under Mikel Arteta made progress in that same season.
The Gunners were a hopeless midtable team when he took over in 2019, but they now appear primed to win some significant hardware in the years to come.
With the transfer market still open, the Spaniard is prepared to add more players to the club after getting rid of the majority of the squad’s dead wood and adding a wealth of talented stars like Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, and Leandro Trossard.
Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres is one of the players who has recently been linked to a move to the Emirates. Although he would be an exciting addition to the team, the Gunners already have a fantastic forward who is more valuable than him.
Kai Havertz’s tenure with Arsenal
The player in question is none other than German striker Kai Havertz, who shocked everyone last summer by shockingly joining from cross-town rivals Chelsea for £65 million.
It’s reasonable to say that the move was not well received at the time, since just one month into the season, analysts like Gabby Agbonlahor called the former Bayer Leverkusen player a “joke”—don’t hold back, Gabby.
But the 25-year-old was given an opportunity to start up top and, after a difficult first half of the season in which he was mostly used as a left-eight, he turned into one of the Gunners’ greatest players.
Nor was he merely netting the sixth goal in a 6-0 thrashing or consolation goals. He scored in the team’s 3-2 victory over the North London Derby, for instance, and secured the team’s victory against Brentford and Everton with a late goal.All things considered, Arteta’s trust in the “versatile” Havertz, as data analyst Ben Mattinson called him, was more than repaid last season. Although the club is linked to a new number nine, the German is more valuable even though he may not be the most aesthetically pleasing player around and may have a few gaffs in him.The 2024 worth of Kai Havertz
The name most frequently mentioned in connection with an Arsenal transfer right now is Gyokeres. The most recent rumours suggest that he might sign for a salary of approximately £76 million, which is a lot of money, but less than the worth of the team’s star forward right now.
