Arsenal player Mikel Arteta is very dependent on a certain aspect, while there is widespread discussion concerning Declan Rice.

According to Chris Sutton, Kai Havertz has established himself as an indispensable player for Mikel Arteta at Arsenal. Sutton suggested that Havertz had become equally significant to the Gunners as Declan Rice.

Arsenal is now the most in-form side in the Premier League as they approach the crucial final stages of the title race. In their most recent seven league matches, they have scored a total of 31 goals.

Arteta’s team has maintained a perfect record without losing any points in the year 2024. Several players have performed exceptionally well during this crucial point in the season, particularly Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard who have regained their outstanding form. Simultaneously, Rice continues to make a strong impression.

However, it is possible that no individual has experienced a more significant metamorphosis this season than Kai Havertz. The Germany international was unexpectedly included last summer following a challenging year at Chelsea.

Havertz initially struggled to adapt and establish himself in North London. At first, Arteta appeared to lack a clear understanding of how to effectively utilize the 24-year-old player, who was acquired for a hefty sum of £65 million.

However, it is undeniable that something appears to have fallen into place. Havertz has displayed remarkable performance, netting three goals and contributing two assists in the past three league matches.
