Chelsea legend Pat Nevin has claimed Kai Havertz can become one of the ‘greatest players of his generation’.
The German international has swapped Stamford Bridge for the Emirates Stadium after completing a £65m move to Arsenal.
“I think Havertz could still be one of the greatest players of his generation,” the ex-Chelsea and Scotland winger told OLBG.
“He was playing at centre-forward at Chelsea and that is not his strongest position. Playing there really took away the strongest parts of his game.
“Arsenal have sealed an absolute cracker of a deal with Havertz. I’m really confident that Mikel Arteta will be able to get the best out of him as well.
“Arsenal’s team for next season is already looking extremely good. I think replacing Granit Xhaka in midfield as well is a big upgrade.
“Even though he scored the winner for Chelsea in the Club World Cup and the Champions League, we still have not seen the best of him. Arsenal have got a great player.
“While I think Chelsea may have got the better deal in terms of selling Mount, I think Arsenal have got the better deal by signing Havertz.”
