Arsenal boss Arteta on Havertz role: We have our eyes open

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has hinted at playing Kai Havertz in an attacking role this season.

Questions have been raised about where the summer signing from Chelsea will be played by Arteta.

He said on Friday: "He has played the majority of the minutes as an attacking midfielder but he can play on the right, he has played as a winger, coming inside as a No9, as a false No9, so we will see.

"We are seeing a lot of things, the team gives you a lot of information every day and some connections and relationships that you didn't expect. Sometimes you feel 'look what is happening there' and it is natural.

"So we have to have our eyes open to that and not just close the door to something because that is not the best thing to do."
