5 players Mikel Arteta could target as Arsenal manager

#4 Kai Havertz (Bayer Leverkusen)

Havertz has taken over Ozil's spot in the German national team

One man who could be leaving Arsenal in either January or the summer is Mesut Ozil. The Arsenal midfielder has divided opinion amongst much of the football world, given his impressive ability, but his apparent lack of desire and effort on the field.

At £350,000-a-week, the German may be a luxury the Gunners can’t afford, and he may find himself out the door soon.

One man Arsenal could look to replace him is a fellow German, Kai Havertz, who is seen as one of the most talented young players in Europe. The 20-year-old is already a key player for Bayer Leverkusen, and has appeared seven times for the German national side.

Havertz scored an impressive 17 goals in the Bundesliga, and has been compared to the likes of Toni Kroos and Michael Ballack. Once again, he may not be the cheapest option, but he is a genuinely superb talent.
