Arteta singles out Havertz after Arsenal's 5-0 win over MLS All-Star

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has highlighted the different qualities Kai Havertz would bring to his side next season.

Havertz joined the Gunners from their London rivals Chelsea this summer in a £65million deal.

The German scored the last goal as Arsenal thrashed the MLS All Stars 5-0 in Washington.

It came a day after Havertz was mocked on social media for a poor performance in the MLS All-Stars Skills Challenge.

But Arteta told Apple TV:

"Havertz gives us something very different with his quality and size. When you have to beat the press for example and use him as a target man.

"So, we will see - for now, he's playing in the attacking-midfield position, but I'm sure throughout the season and throughout games as well, we're going to have the options to play him in different positions."
