Kai Havertz’s move to Arsenal in the last transfer window over a potential transfer to Real Madrid has garnered attention. When Arsenal secured his signing, there was some scepticism among fans, and the transfer didn’t generate significant media buzz.
However, according to a report from AS, Havertz’s performances at Arsenal have not met expectations, and Real Madrid is reportedly relieved they did not sign the German midfielder. This suggests that, in hindsight, they believe they made the right decision in not pursuing the transfer.
Player transfers in football can be unpredictable, and a player’s performance at a new club may not always match the expectations or potential that led to the signing. It’s essential to remember that player form can fluctuate, and opinions on a transfer can change over time. Havertz’s situation at Arsenal may evolve in the future, and it remains to be seen how he adapts and performs at the Emirates.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Havertz has to prove he is a good signing in the season’s remaining games.
He is not a popular signing and his poor start to his time in North London means he has his work cut out in proving his worth.
However, we have seen Mikel Arteta revive the career of many players and we back him to bring the best out of the German.
But we do not expect the gaffer to blindly continue to field the former Chelsea man if his form does not improve soon.
Havertz has been in the Premier League long enough to perform better, and he knows this.

Although I am not too sure on the validity of the report, if I was a Real Madrid transfer official I would be happy that this did not go through. Subsequent performances so far has only shown Havertz to be an inferior Thomas Muller clone with somwhat decent passing.
So do we!
He played well against PSV and only going to get better, get behind not constantly getting on his back with silly articles like this
Far too early to fully assess Havertz. JA are also far too quick to jump on to the bandwagon of negativity.
Havertz has started ONLY four Prem games. Even after only his very first , so many fans on JA were making final judgement on his long term value -or lack of it , according to them- and I just believe that is, sadly, typical of fans who want, and demand EVERYTHING, AND DEMAND IT RIGHT NOW.
What a sad modern society we have where no one is given any real time to prove themselves.
Just look at the hideous deluge of final judgements made on MA ever after only his first year.
I am an older generation fan and, in many ways glad to be so.
Life has taught me that we do not know much after a proverbial “ten minutes” and wise folk will suspend judgement for a sufficient time , in order that their judgement can be a rational one!
And to those hasty ” I want it all and NOW” fans on JA, I respectfully suggest you put your brains into gear and use them properly.
And making FAR TOO HASTY final judgements is NOT DOING SO!
The writer said Havertz did NOT perform to the expectation of the fans.
I don’t think this is true imo, I believe 80% of the fans already know that Havertz’s signing will not improve our team.
His current mediocre performance is what majority of the fans truly expect and that why many fans don’t want the gaffer to sign him in the first place.
Only fans who haven’t seen Havertz play before expect him to perform better.
To think Havertz is “the answer” is laughable, when 3 years in the PL is evidence that proves otherwise.
Sure he had several different managers, and NOT ONE was able to get a tune out of this bang average overrated player.
Care less about his performances with Germany, how many points do Araenal get from that?
Havertz is talented, and will have the occasional good game, but limp, low energy underperformances will continue with Arsenal.
His poor play make me miss Xhaka all the more, and his inclusion hampers others develop and get game time.
It’s frustrating to see how our club invested so heavily in Havertz, especially knowing that he had previously underperformed at Chelsea. The price tag attached to his transfer raised eyebrows and unfortunately, he has yet failed to live up to the lofty expectations set for him from the Club.
As fans we were well aware that Havertz had struggled to make a consistent mark at Chelsea, whoever sanctioned his signing must of hoped that a change of scenery and coach would rejuvenate his career. However, it appears that the issues that plagued him before have followed him to our team. We were expecting an upgrade to Xhaka , but what we’ve witnessed so far is a player struggling to find his form and make a meaningful impact on the pitch, just as he did at Chelsea.
The hope is that Havertz can turn things around, find his rhythm, and start justifying why he was bought. Every player goes through rough patches but how much time will Havertz need to find some form. It’s essential to support our own. But as it stands, the frustration of watching an overpriced player underperform, I am noticing a large number of our fans patience is wearing thinner.
I wonder how long Arteta will accept the mediocrity from this player?
