He emphasized his enjoyment of playing for the team and his readiness to adapt to different positions, highlighting his experience even as a left-back in Germany.
Havertz’s performance has earned praise from Arsenal supporters, who appreciate his effectiveness and recent stellar form. Ultimately, the consensus is that he should occupy the role where he performs best, regardless of the position, reflecting his valuable contribution to the team’s success.
