Kai Havertz has faced criticism for his performances, and with Bukayo Saka set to miss several months, the pressure is on Havertz to step up.
Transfer Rumors and Speculation
Arsenal reportedly made a bid for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, but the Englishman’s injury has cast doubt on the deal.
With the transfer window closing on February 3, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal will make any last-minute signings.
The Title Race Heats Up
Arsenal’s win over Manchester City has kept them in the title race, but they still trail Liverpool by six points.
