Kai Havertz, the Arsenal player whose career has seen a significant upturn since his departure from Chelsea, has recently made some intriguing comments about his former club. Despite the fact that very few fans were disappointed by Havertz's exit, it's clear that he left an indelible mark on the team.
Chelsea is currently in a strong position when it comes to attackers, with players like Cole Palmer delivering brilliance on a regular basis. However, no matter what Havertz achieves at Arsenal, it will be challenging for him to surpass his most memorable moment in a Chelsea shirt.
Havertz etched his name into football history by scoring the winning goal in the 2021 Champions League final. This unforgettable moment came as part of an impressive run that saw Chelsea triumph over Manchester City. However, despite this being a high point of his career at Chelsea, Havertz has expressed that winning the competition with Arsenal would hold more significance for him.
Aiming higher with Arsenal
In an interview with Metro, Havertz stated candidly.
Kai Havertz, Arsenal player, said:
“It was a good moment for me in my career and something that I’m always going to think about. It’s a nice feeling but it would be even nicer if I can do it with Arsenal and it would mean a lot more.
If players ask me about it I tell them, but I think it’s just something new now. We have lots of players already that have played in the competition and now it’s a new competition with more games. I help where I can but it was three or four years ago that I won it, so a long time ago, so I think I have to prove myself again in the dressing room.”
This statement reveals not only his ambition but also hints at subtle dissatisfaction towards his former club. Last season saw Havertz score against none other than Chelsea itself and he didn't shy away from celebrating - perhaps due to criticism received from Chelsea fans post-departure.
While Kai Havertz's departure may not have caused much disappointment among Blues fans initially given their current attacking prowess led by Cole Palmer and others; these recent statements might stir up some emotions. Regardless of where fan loyalties lie though - one thing is certain - all eyes will be on Havertz as he aims to achieve Champions League glory with Arsenal.
