“I love the club” – Arsenal player has fallen for Gunners, his chant has certainly helped

Arsenal’s Kai Havertz has had a decent debut season since arriving at the Emirates from Chelsea last summer.

Mikel Arteta has used the attacking midfielder as a No.9 on certain occasions this season, and he’s managed nine goals and four assists from 41 games so far.

The 24-year-old had a difficult start to his Arsenal career before starting to impress for them on the pitch.

Sky Deutschland have been speaking to Havertz and asked him why he initially struggled at the north London club.

“For me, when I moved to Chelsea, it was normal that you needed a little time to arrive and to get to know everyone properly and to have a good relationship on the pitch. And it was clear to me that it might not “click” in the first few days, but rather that it will take a few weeks,” he said.

“I’m someone who doesn’t come out of my shell so easily in a new environment, but for me it always takes a few weeks or a few months.”

The Germany international now feels well settled with the Gunners and has also opened up about his love for Arsenal. He insists it was the right choice to move to the Emirates.

“Nowadays It definitely clicked. I feel extremely comfortable. I love the club, I love the players, the staff, and I love the fans,” Havertz explained.

“So, for me it was absolutely the right thing [moving to Arsenal] to do and I’m just happy to be here and fight for titles this year. We still have two titles that can be won and now the important weeks of the season begin and I personally, and of course the whole team, will do everything to win titles.”

Arteta’s side are in contention to win the title this season and are currently second in the table, trailing leaders Liverpool by two points.

Havertz has received an appreciation from the Arsenal supporters, who also came up with a chant for him [€60m down the drain.. Kai Havertz scores again].

The man himself is clearly thrilled with the support.

“It was an amazing feeling, especially because I generally think the chant is really cool. It’s just nice when you score a goal that the fans celebrate it so much, that the fans are so behind you, then in bad times. I think that’s extremely important for a footballer because you can’t be at your highest performance level every day,” the German added.

“It’s normal that things always fluctuate a little bit. And that’s why it feels extremely nice for me. I like the chant, I like the melody. So, for me there’s nothing wrong with it.”
