‘He has gained our respect’: Mikel Arteta hails Havertz after Arsenal’s fast start

  • Forward got a goal and assist in 2-0 win against Wolves
  • ‘He’s gained the confidence of everyone with his displays’

Mikel Arteta hailed the contribution of Kai Havertz after the German scored one and assisted another to defeat Wolves and quieten talk of Arsenal needing to sign a new striker.

In one direction lies the world they know: the family stress, the looming exams, the pumping pop beats at the club where they’ll reliably pull boys from school. In the other direction lies an uncertain path, and questions of who they are apart from one another, whether they could be the first in their families to go to university, and how to afford it if they do.
