Arsenal signed Kai Havertz for around £60 million after Gabriel Jesus got injured. Havertz has performed very well at Arsenal, while Jesus has gradually become a substitute. Now, his role in Arsenal is mainly the support of Havertz and to help reduce the pressure on Bukayo Saka.
Havertz: Proving His Worth
Havertz faced a lot of criticism in the first few months after joining Arsenal from Chelsea, but now his ability is undeniable. He is in great form, helping Arsenal maintain their position as champions of the Premier League, Champions League, and Carabao Cup.
This season, Havertz has scored six goals and provided one assist in ten games for Arsenal. The German international has netted four Premier League goals, helping the Gunners sit in third place in the league standings. He also scored in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain and in the Carabao Cup against Bolton Wanderers.
Jesus Might Leave Arsenal Next Summer
However, Jesus‘s performance at Arsenal has been declining year by year. He started off strong, but after suffering a serious knee injury during the World Cup, his form began to drop. In the 2024/25 season, he has also had a couple of minor injuries, and his performance for Arsenal has been well below average.
This decline makes it understandable that Gabriel Jesus is being replaced by Kai Havertz. Reports suggest that Arsenal is willing to sell Jesus in the winter transfer window, and he is likely to leave the club next summer.
Meanwhile, Jesus’s former club, Palmeiras, is very eager for his return.
Whether it’s Gabriel Jesus or Havertz, we hope both players continue to deliver exciting performances in the right positions in the future.
