Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has offered Kai Havertz advice regarding integrating into the club.

The German attacking midfielder is struggling to justify the mega fee the Gunners paid Chelsea for his signature.

The 24-year-old, who missed a sitter in a 3-1 win over Manchester United, was not at his best yet again.

“I said to him [Havertz] on Saturday when things are hard in the beginning when I met my wife it was hard in the beginning," Arteta told Sky Sports.

“I had to work and message, if she says yes on the first day it is probably no good.

“[what won her over?] persistence, I think. We took the plane on Sunday, we took the metro. We win games, and that's the beauty of it," he added.
