Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has claimed that Kai Havertz has decided where he wants to play in his team.
Two months since Havertz began playing regularly through the middle, he has scored five goals and provided three assists in seven starts.
The 24-year-old’s nine league goals is also his best return in an English season.
Speaking after Havertz scored one and provided an assist for another in their 3-0 win over Brighton, Arteta said the player is “comfortable” in the role.
“A lot of times, players decide where they have to play.
“We can have certain ideas but then you see certain relationships and sometimes it flows.”
“When it flows you have to let it go. I think Kai at the moment is flowing. He is really comfortable there and the team is really comfortable with him there and the rest of it is happening naturally,” Arteta said.
