Arsenal want Kai Havertz for his ability to move into midfield – as well as his ability to play up front.

The Chelsea man is linked with a £60m move via London to Arsenal with Aliadiere - who won the league title at Highbury in 2004 - backing the move.

"When you look at the way Arsenal play, I'm not sure Arteta is looking for a typical striker who only focuses on scoring," Aliadiere told FourFourTwo.

Aliadière was part of the Gunners' squad for their last title win, alternating with Kanu, Sylvain Wiltord and others as Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp's first-choice attacking duo needed to be done. new. Now he says Arsenal need quality players like Havertz to give them more depth from the bench to put them in at key moments.
Arteta's men dropped the title by five points in a game where injuries piled up - with many pointing to a lack of experience and quality across the team as deciding factors.
“I think Havertz will be a great addition to the team,” he said. “I believe the reason we failed at the end of last season was that we didn't have enough depth in the team.
"We don't have much of a chance to come on from the bench and change the game."
