Bukayo Saka believes Kai Havertz will score more goals for Arsenal this season after the German forward’s impressive start to the campaign.
Softfootball said Mikel Arteta has also backed Saka to hit top form as Arsenal enter a defining period of the season. The support from Arteta comes at a time when Arsenal’s key attackers are growing in confidence and helping the team maintain their strong Premier League run.
Havertz struggled during the early part of his Arsenal career, but he has gradually become a fan favourite because of his improved performances and important goals.
This season, the former Chelsea star has scored four goals and provided one assist in seven Premier League appearances. In all competitions, he has found the net six times in 10 matches.
Saka said he always believed in Havertz’s quality and added that the Arsenal dressing room never doubted him.
“I’ve always thought Kai’s an unbelievable player. Everyone in the dressing room did too,” Saka said.
We’re so happy that he’s showing that. This season he has come out with even more confidence, I think he’s scored in almost every game,
he added.
Saka also praised Havertz’s movement and understanding around the penalty area, saying those qualities will help him continue scoring for the Gunners.
Kai is going to score a lot of goals this season. He has a really good understanding around the box, when to attack it, and that’s why he gets a lot of chances,
Saka said.
Arsenal are currently third in the Premier League table with 17 points and are yet to taste defeat this season.
The Gunners are only one point behind leaders Liverpool and will face Bournemouth after the international break as they continue their push for the title.
