Chelsea forward Kai Havertz is set to join rivals Arsenal but one Arsenal star is reportedly not happy about the transfer.

According to the Sun, Arsenal star Eddie Nketiah has been left unsettled by the impending arrival of Havertz at Arsenal.

Havertz predominantly played as a centre-forward or false nine for Chelsea last season, scoring eight times in 30 starts in all competitions in that role and Nketiah believes Havertz’s arrival at Arsenal will push him down the pecking order.

A source told the Sun: “Eddie’s at a key stage in his career. He feels he’s now proved he can score goals at the highest level and the next step is to be playing week in week out.

“But the fact the club has decided to invest so heavily in another striker has left Eddie wondering if he really has a future at the club.

“There would certainly be no shortage of takers if he were to push for a move. Crystal Palace and West Ham are both near the front of the queue.

“Both clubs lack a 20-goal-a-season man which Nketiah believes he can be in the Premier League.”
