Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has given insight into why he rates Kai Havertz so highly after his arrival from Chelsea in this summer’s transfer window.
The Germany international didn’t really cause a stir during his time at Stamford Bridge. He seemed to lack confidence in most of his games as he struggled to really establish himself under different coaches.
Still, Arsenal have clearly decided it’s worth giving Havertz another chance to show what he can do and it looks like Ramsdale is a huge fan of his new team-mate.
Speaking to German magazine Kicker, Ramsdale explained what stands out from the way Havertz plays and gave insight into what he thinks the 24-year-old could bring alongside Mikel Arteta.
“A very good signing. Havertz already has plenty of experience and captained Leverkusen at a young age. “He’s an international, he’s won the Champions League and scored in important games,” Ramsdale said.
“He can play in different positions which helps the team. He’s also a big boy so he can help from set pieces, including in defence, which is not to be underestimated in football. modern.
“It is particularly striking to see how differently he can play. He’s so good with the ball at his feet but can be a target player at the same time. You can never really rest against him because he is constantly looking for space.
“He is also very selfless and likes to use wingers or players who drop in from midfield. We want to express those qualities in our game.”
Arsenal fans are certainly hoping this signing will work out as Havertz already looked like an excellent signing during his time at Bayer Leverkusen, while he is far from the only big name to have struggled against this dysfunctional Chelsea side in recent times. years.
