Kai Havertz explains how Mikel Arteta has fundamentally changed him as a player

Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has explained how manager Mikel Arteta has fundamentally changed his style of play since joining the club. Answering fan questions on Reddit, Havertz revealed that his biggest area of development has been his work rate and defensive duties when his team does not have possession of the ball.

Havertz joined Arsenal from Chelsea for £65 million in 2023 and has become a key figure in Arteta's side. The German international noted that he has learned the importance of winning duels and defending, contributing to his high work rate and pressing from the front this season.
