The attacker for Arsenal, Kai Havertz, is the player most like himself, according to Dimitar Berbatov.
Havertz has been receiving praise from many in the football world for his recent improvement in form. In 26 games played this season, the German attacker has scored five goals and added one assist.
Mikel Arteta assigned the 24-year-old a midfield role upon his summer transfer from Chelsea to Arsenal, where he cost £67.5 million. He has recently shown remarkable improvement in his role and has introduced certain crucial objectives.
That is precisely what Berbatov accomplished throughout his time playing in the Premier League. During his 229 league games, he scored 94 goals for teams like Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United. The Bulgarian forward is widely considered to be among the most special and gifted players to ever play for England.
By describing Havertz as the player who reminds him of himself, the Red Devils great showered the youngster with admiration. Speaking on talkSPORT, he stated:
“I don’t like comparing, but to answer the question, the first person popping into my mind is Kai Havertz.”
Havertz is known to take his time with the ball before deciding which pass to make, a trait that Berbatov alluded to. The way he moves about the field is distinctive, but not always indicative of a rush, he added. He’s patiently studying, watching, and not moving about. On top of that, he’s got a nice touch with the ball. For that reason, I like his candor and hope he succeeds at Arsenal.
In 2020, Havertz joined Chelsea from Bayer Leverkusen in the Premier League. The German national is somewhat continuing in the footsteps of the legendary Premier League player Dimitar Berbatov, who played for the Bundesliga club.
How Kai Havertz has found his form again for Arsenal
Havertz elaborated on how his recent success with the Gunners is a result of his refusal to let criticism affect him. As he spoke to Sky Germany:
“To be completely honest, it wasn’t my finest hour, and I know I’m capable of much more,” he continued. From time to time, my self-assurance took a little Һit. But now that I’m stronger than ever, I know I can pull myself out of this hole.
Havertz went into Arsenal’s Premier League opener scoreless and assist-free in six outings. He emphasized that he can’t make everyone happy all the time, but that the people closest to him are the most important:
Never mind trying to satisfy everyone. They like you sometimes and don’t like you other times, and I can handle it any way. Whatever makes the people in my life happy is what matters most to me.
On Saturday (December 23), the Gunners will face the Blues, and the former Blues forward will be hoping to keep up his incredible run. In a top-of-the-table showdown, they head to Anfield to take on Liverpool. Arteta’s squad is one point ahead of Liverpool.
