After spending more than<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/soccer\/story\/_\/id\/37636069\/chelsea-600m-spree-runs-risk-not-delivering-much\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u00a3325 million<\/a> in the January transfer window alone, the Blues&#8217; plethora of signings made it difficult to guarantee the Italian a starting spot.

The lucrative deal would keep the German forward in London, but send him to a whole new team environment. At the Emirates, Havertz would be paired with young attacking stars such as Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard, and Bukayo Saka. It&#8217;s reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-us\/news\/mikel-arteta-kai-havertz-as-arsenal-gbp65-million-transfer-chelsea\/blt9d4809d123f9448e\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mikel Arteta<\/a> already highly rates the young star, praising him as a &#8216;talented, versatile player&#8217;.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the Grass Greener on the Other Side?<\/h3>\n<p>On the surface, the move stands as somewhat of an upgrade for the 24-year-old. While a young Gunners squad competed for the title, a disorganized and confused Chelsea finished in 12th place. Now Havertz, who has previously scored the winner in a Champions League final, will have the opportunity to play in the competition again.<\/p>\n<p>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/06\/23\/arsenal-jurrien-timber-ajax\/\" target=\"_self\">&#8216;Masterful on the Ball&#8217; Defender to Snub Manchester United in Favour of Move to Arsenal\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Mauricio Pochettino&#8217;s jam-packed squad would make it difficult for him to find as much playing time. A transfer to North London appears to be beneficial for the German forward in almost every way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured Image<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_624507\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-624507\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-624507 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/06\/39708088630_1733b72ac1_k-300x129.jpg\" alt=\"Arsenal - Emirates Stadium - William Saliba\" width=\"300\" height=\"129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/06\/39708088630_1733b72ac1_k-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/06\/39708088630_1733b72ac1_k-1024x441.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/06\/39708088630_1733b72ac1_k-768x331.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/06\/39708088630_1733b72ac1_k.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-624507\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/ [url=https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/23uSkkL][img]https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/863\/39708088630_1733b72ac1_k.jpg[\/img][\/url][url=https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/23uSkkL]Emirates Stadium Arsenal[\/url] by [url=https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/94337649@N04\/]Mark Hunter[\/url], on Flickr https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/23uSkkL Mark Hunter\u00a0from Flickr, CC BY 2.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In some of the Premier League&#8217;s biggest transfer news, Kai Havertz seems to be on his way from Chelsea to Arsenal.
