Former Premier League star Yannick Bolasie has lauded Kai Havertz after the Arsenal star’s performance last night against Sheffield United.

The Germany international scored in his third consecutive Premier League match for the Gunners as Arsenal blew the Blades away at Bramall Lane with an emphatic 6-0 win.

Signed from Chelsea in the summer for a reported £65m, a lot of questions have been hanging over Havertz’s head this season on whether or not Arsenal made the right decision in paying big to sign the 24-year-old.

Yet as per Bolasie on Twitter, Havertz is now finally showing why Mikel Arteta took the risk in the transfer market to bring the versatile attacking midfielder to Arsenal.

Playing in the centre-forward role last night, Havertz’s tactical versatility is proving to be a huge factor in Arsenal’s winning machine in the Premier League, in which the German has started all but one game.

With eight goals and three assists in all competitions now, Havertz’s numbers paint the picture on how well the 24-year-old is actually doing at Arsenal this season, with Arteta getting the best out of the former Chelsea man.

And heading into the final games of the season, Havertz can play a key role for Arsenal in their bid to win the Premier League, a trophy the German failed to win during his time in west London with the Blues.

Mikel Arteta again proved why Arsenal fans need to trust him

A lot of eyebrows were raised this summer when Arsenal made the decision to sign Havertz, a player who did okay at Chelsea but never really set the world alight.

Some average performances at the start of Havertz’s career did little to quell fears that Arsenal might have made a bad call in signing the German, yet like many things, Arteta has again proven to be right.

The 24-year-old is now a key figure in Arsenal’s system as the north London side look unstoppable in the Premier League, and Havertz could still have a bigger part to play in what’s to come this season.
