News of Kai Havertz’s potential transfer from Chelsea to their London rivals, Arsenal, has sent shockwaves through the footballing world. As the German attacking midfielder nears a move to the Gunners, fans from both clubs are expressing a wide range of emotions and opinions regarding this unexpected development.

The rumoured transfer has ignited a heated discussion among supporters, with some embracing the prospect of Havertz donning the red and white of Arsenal, while others express concerns about the implications of such a move.

Trust the Process

After spending years in obscurity, Mikel Arteta turned the Gunners into Premer League title contenders. It has been stated that Havertz’s addition has been asked by the Spanish manager himself.

After seeing Arteta turn Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko from fringe players at the Etihad into key players at the Emirates, a section of Arsenal fans has eagerly welcomed the idea of Havertz’s arrival.

They believe his technical ability, versatility, and goal-scoring prowess would provide a much-needed boost to the team’s attacking options. Excitement fills the air as they envision Havertz’s creativity and flair complementing Arsenal’s style of play, potentially revitalizing their fortunes and leading them to glory.

Reservations about the German

On the other hand, some Arsenal fans remain sceptical about the potential transfer and express reservations about embracing a player from their bitter rivals. With the exception of Petr Cech, none of the arrivals from Stamford Bridge have impressed in North London.

David Luiz, William Gallas, Willian and Jorginho, none of the stars that arrived from Chelsea could establish themselves in Arsenal’s folklore. While the aforementioned quartet were on their last legs when joining the Gunners, the German international is 24 and still has to enjoy the better part of his career.

Jubilation from Chelsea fans

After a season that saw them finish 12th in the Premier League, Chelsea fans are backing the mass clearout. As Havertz is sold to their derby rivals, fans have become math wizards to justify the profit they are making on his sale.

Then there are others who do not want to keep players with their hearts set somewhere else.

It has also raised an outcry from sections of the fanbase questioning the direction of the club. Havertz is not the only key player to leave Stamford Bridge. Mateo Kovacic and N’Golo Kante are also departing with Mason Mount having one foot out the door.

Havertz struggled to impose himself at Stamford Bridge, scoring just 32 goals in 139 appearances. However, he leaves as a legend with his goal against Manchester City in the Champions League final cementing his legacy at the club. Fans thanked him for his service and that special goal in Porto.
