Kai Havertz

In this scout report on Kai Havertz, now the focal point of Arsenal's attack, his style of play reveals a forward who thrives on retaining possession, ensuring that the team's build-up isn't disrupted. His ability to find the back of the net is decent, showing he's a reliable option in front of goal, though there's room for growth in terms of his goal threat. When it comes to creating chances, Havertz is competent, consistently looking to carve out opportunities for his teammates. However, his progressive play—both carrying and passing—leaves much to be desired, suggesting he might rely more on quick interplays than driving the ball forward himself. At 26, he's in the prime of his career, and his player stats indicate a knack for recovering the ball, allowing him to contribute defensively when needed. While his 1v1 defending isn't a highlight, his presence in the penalty area is more assured, hinting at a player who's more comfortable in offensive transitions rather than defensive duels. Overall, Havertz offers a balanced yet evolving attacking option for Arsenal.
