0 LONDON: Havertz will be the runner-up player in the Premier League and all that remains is for the London clubs to make it official.
The German footballer leaves Chelsea and moves to North London after being in the orbit of Real Madrid. The transaction has been closed today.
Arteta and his Arsenal already have one of their targets. Kai Havertz will be the runner-up player in the Premier League and all that remains is for the London clubs to make it official.
The German attacker will change the blue colour for red in exchange for 65 million pounds, which means almost 76 million euros. The operation was closed on Tuesday afternoon after reaching an agreement between Arsenal and the footballer a few days ago.
The German was one of Real Madrid’s targets at the start of the transfer market, but the whites never reached Chelsea’s demands, who signed the German for 80 million euros from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2020, now three seasons later, Chelsea recovers almost everything invested in the signing (removing salary and taxes).
“It’s super exciting for me personally. I’m so glad to join this amazing club, this club has such a big history, and I hope we can achieve lots of big things.
“You can just see the family mentality that the team has on the pitch and I guess, you know, they have it off the pitch as well. That was one of the reasons why it was so hard to play against Arsenal,” said Kai Havertz.
Thus, Havertz becomes Arteta’s first signing for Arsenal this season, signing his contract until the summer of 2028. The English team is also interested in the footballer Declan Rice, but Manchester City is also wanting to sign the West Ham pivot.
