Arsenal are keen on to sign 19-year-old midfielder. Why they should go one-step ahead an sign the player who could be star in the future

Arsenal are highlighting Bayer Leverkusen’s Kai Havertz as the main target after he made his international debut for Germany, according to the Mirror. The 19-year-old has already played over 50 games for his club and gained a high reputation from tutelage around. Havertz is a versatile player who can play anywhere in the midfield. He can score goals, create chances and be a combative presence in the central areas of the pitch. Arsenal and Unai Emery could do with someone more agile and athletic in central midfield and the 19-year-old would be ideal. Here is why the Gunners should go all out and sign the German as soon as possible Havertz is a flexible player who can fit the needs of the manager according to the situation of the game. He can play attacking midfield, central midfield or as a defensive midfielder as per the need of the hour. Predominantly though, the 19-year-old is a fantastic No.10 who can run the show from that position. He has scored four goals and provided two assists in nine appearances in league and European games. The pass success rate of 82.1% and a key pass rate of 2 per game epitomizes his propensity of creating chances for the front men. Havertz possesses the pace to threaten the defenders, especially on the counter-attack as he has dribbling skills to go past players in a flash. He works hard off the ball as well and has a tackle rate of 1.4 in the league, which depicts his willingness to put his foot in for the team and win back possession. Under Emery in a 4-2-3-1 formation, the 19-year-old can be a perfect No.10 just behind the striker. With the possible departure of Aaron Ramsey on the cards, Arsenal would do well to get Havertz as early as possible.
