Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is pleased with the impact of new signing Kai Havertz.

The German attacking midfielder has come in for huge criticism over the past few years.

His lack of scoring at the Blues and subsequent big money summer transfer to Arsenal have raised eyebrows.

Asked about Havertz, Arteta told reporters: “He's doing really well. I think he played a really good game against City. He had two good chances to score and he didn't but everything gave apart from that was excellent.

“The other day he was excellent as well, he played two different positions throughout the game - one more as an eight, one more as a ten.

“I'm really happy with what he's bringing to the team, his intensity, his threat, his understanding of spaces, and how he is around the boys as well. So really happy with him."
