Mikel Arteta Backs Kai Havertz After Arsenal's Failure to Secure New Striker in January Transfer Window

Share This

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has expressed disappointment over the club's inability to secure a new striker during the January transfer window. This shortfall is particularly concerning given that Gabriel Jesus is sidelined for the season due to a knee injury, leaving Kai Havertz as the sole fit forward in the squad. 
Arteta emphasized the importance of acquiring players who can make a significant impact on the team and maintain discipline within the squad. He noted that the club is committed to evolving its roster to meet these standards. 

Despite the setback in the transfer market, Arteta has shown unwavering support for Havertz, who has been thrust into the central striker role. Havertz, who joined Arsenal in June 2023, has demonstrated versatility and skill, contributing to the team's offensive efforts. 

The club's pursuit of a new forward included a £60 million bid for Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins, which was rejected by Villa's head coach, Unai Emery. Additionally, Arsenal explored the possibility of signing Álvaro Morata, a former Chelsea player, but ultimately lost out to Turkish team Galatasaray.
