Ilkay Gundogan has praised Kai Havertz for his composure and intelligence.
- Havertz has featured as the main striker in all four of the Gunners’ league games this season.
- The 25-year-old is yet to score against Pep Guardiola’s side in the league.
Ilkay Gundogan has heaped praise on Kai Havertz ahead of Manchester City clash with Arsenal highlighting the composure and intelligence of his compatriot on and off the pitch.
Ask about Havertz ahead of tomorrow’s game, Gundogan “Kai is very down-to-earth and calm. But he is also very analytical, intelligent and has a broad perspective.”
“I think that’s something that Arteta admires about him as well and why he’s been so important at Arsenal.”
Manchester City host Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium, with the two sides battling for the title over the past two seasons, and Havertz is likely to play a key role this weekend.
Havertz has started all four of the Gunners’ league games this season, scoring two goals and providing one assist as Mikel Arteta’s side sit second in the table, behind Pep Guardiola’s side who have won every game.
Although Havertz dropped back to central midfield https://ufabet999.app in Arsenal’s goalless Champions League draw with Atalanta, with Gabriel Jesus leading the line, the German is expected to return to his old role against Man City.
Havertz scored a crucial goal in the 2020/21 Champions League final as Chelsea beat Man City 1-0 to lift the trophy.
However, the 25-year-old is yet to score against Guardiola’s side in the English top flight and he will no doubt be keen to break that deficit on Sunday.
