DONE DEAL: Arsenal sign £65M Chelsea attacker Kai Havertz

Arsenal have completed the signing of Chelsea attacker Kai Havertz.

The Germany international moves to the Gunners for £65m and has penned a five-year deal to 2028.

"It's super exciting for me to be joining this amazing club and to be part of the Arsenal family," said Havertz. "This club has such a big history, and I hope we can achieve lots of things.

"The mentality in the Arsenal squad is very high and you can feel that. That was one of the reasons why it has been so hard to play against Arsenal recently.

"The aim is to win trophies and I'm going to give everything to do that for the supporters and everyone at the club. I'm now looking forward to meeting all the players and the staff when we come back for pre-season."

With Chelsea, Havertz scored 19 goals in 91 Premier League appearances and hit the winner in the 2021 Champions League final against Manchester City.
