Arsenal legend Ian Wright is confident Kai Havertz will succeed at Arsenal.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has hinted Havertz will play predominately in midfield following his £65m move from Stamford Bridge.

“I feel very, very confident about that midfield and what that midfield can produce,” Wright said on his Ringer FC podcast. “Especially with Havertz.

“Havertz in that role, I think we are going to be very surprised by his quality as well. Arsenal fans are going to love him.

“We haven’t seen nothing from him at Chelsea. Yes, he’s scored the winning goal in a Champions League final and stuff like that.

“But he’s not a [number] nine, he’s not a false nine. He’s either a ten drifting in like he did for [Bayer] Leverkusen, scoring lots of goals in his first couple of seasons.

“But I can see him as an eight, arriving in the box when Gabriel Jesus drifts out, leaving those spaces. I cannot help but get excited.”
