Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has spoken openly of his admiration for Chelsea attacker Kai Havertz.

The Germany international is on track to sign for the Gunners in a £65m deal.

Arteta told Marca: "Kai has already shown a lot, including winning a Champions League. He is a talented, versatile player and only 24 years old,' Arteta said.

"Talent has a price and, at Arsenal, we are always interested in young players with experience.

"Again, I'm not talking about players from other clubs, but, in the case of Kai, he has already shown a lot, including a Champions League. He is a talented, versatile player and he is only 24 years old."
