Kai Havertz has found a new sense of vitality since his move from Chelsea to Arsenal last summer, showcasing an impressive debut season.

Havertz, who spent three years at Chelsea after joining from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020, notably scored the winning goal in the 2021 Champions League final but failed to fully realize his potential at Stamford Bridge.

During an interview with Chinese streaming service iQIYI, he was asked if he harbored any desire for his former Chelsea teammates to join him at Arsenal.

“I don’t even know, I think we have everyone here,” he replied.

“I’m happy with the squad.” Havertz was then asked if Joao Felix, who spent six months on loan at Chelsea last season, would be a welcome addition for Arsenal and admitted he would be a “quality” signing.

“He’s an amazing player, a quality player for sure,” Havertz added. “But yeah, I have to say that I’m happy with the squad,” the German forward replied.

Kai Havertz’s Optimism and Pressure

Havertz is also optimistic that Arsenal, who are presently one point ahead of reigning champions Manchester City, can win the Premier League this year. While Pep Guardiola’s side does have a game in hand, Havertz is eagerly embracing the intensified pressure that comes with being in a title race.

“I really enjoy every second,” he said. “Sometimes I feel like I don’t even want to have a day off because you’re just so excited for the weekend and really want to work with the team, try to get everything out of us to be better prepared and we do that every single day.

“It’s going to be two tough games. We have a lot to play for, we have to win those games and then see where we’re going to go. Right now, though, the mood is good but we’re going to prepare now for the big game this week against Manchester United and hopefully win that as well.

“We feel the pressure as we need to win the last games. Then when you don’t score, and it gets closer to half-time, obviously the nerves are coming but we tried to leave them behind us, and thanks to Bukayo for scoring his goal and making it a bit easier for us,” he added.
