Arsenal boss Arteta delighted with 'really humble' Havertz

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was pleased with Kai Havertz's performance in their 1-1 preseason draw with Nurnberg.

Arteta says the £65m signing from Chelsea has settled in well.

He stated afterwards: "The talent, the quality, the physicality and the goal threat that he has shown over the past few years. I think it's true that we have to see how we adapt him the best. He needs to build some relationships on that pitch, but so far he's adapting really well and we're really happy to have him.

"He's not going to be a like-for-like because everybody's going to be very different to what Granit (Xhaka) gave us. It will be very different but Kai has tremendous qualities for our way of playing.

"Every player is keen to help him and he's settled well. He's a really good character. Really humble. He wants to play for us and win with us and we are delighted to have him."
