JAKARTA - Arsenal can't wait with midfielder Kai Havertz. Although it's only been a season since joining Arsenal, Havertz is likely to be sold.

Arsenal has lost patience with Havertz who has never shown maximum performance. The German national team midfielder has actually failed for three years with Chelsea.

Chelsea recruited the Dririnya from Bayer Leverkusen at an expensive price, 71 million in 2020. Despite helping Chelsea win various trophies, including the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup, Havertz's contribution is not optimal.

Even though Chelsea has changed managers, the 24-year-old's performance is still below standard. Interestingly, Chelsea can still sell Havertz at a fairly high price to its neighbor, Arsenal.

Yes, the North London club redeemed Havertz for 65 million. Manager Mikel Arteta is optimistic that Havertz will rise with the Gunners.

He is projected to replace Granit Xhaka who moved to the old Havertz camp, Leverkusen. Havertz is indeed positioned to play deeper by Arteta.

However, the player who won the 2023 Community Shield for Arsenal was also late for the start. This is what makes the purchase of Havertz questionable.

He did get up and was taken into account again after scoring three goals in five games against Luton Town, Brighton and Hove Albion and Brentford. Including when Arsenal won 6-0 over Lens in the Champions League.

However, Havertz's performance has decreased again when he entered 2024. Even in the last match against West Ham United, Havertz did not contribute goals or assists even though Arsenal also had a six-goal party without reply.

Of the 33 games with Arsenal, Havertz has only managed to score five goals and one assist.

While Havertz's best performance in the English Premier League was with Chelsea in the 2021/2022 season. At that time, he was able to score eight goals.

According to Fichajes, the club has lost patience with Havertz despite only one season at the Emirates. This is what makes Havertz a sell list on the summer player exchange. There is only no issue about the shopping club Havertz. Real Madrid was once interested in recruiting him. However, the Spanish La Liga giant is still focused on recruiting Kylian Mbappe. This is what makes Havertz no longer a priority for Madrid.
