The 25-year-old forward played a crucial role in Arsenal’s comeback against Southampton at the Emirates Stadium. Cameron Archer scored first for the Saints right after half-time. However, Kai Havertz managed to equalize shortly thereafter. Gabriel Martinelli, coming on as a substitute for Raheem Sterling, put Arsenal in the lead, and Bukayo Saka sealed the victory with a late goal. Kai Havertz celebrated the team’s win on social media, sharing a series of matchday photos with his followers. In his post, he expressed his enthusiasm for the team’s performance.
Kai Havertz said, “Building on the momentum! #COYG.”
Notably, instead of tagging the location as ‘the Emirates Stadium’, he simply wrote ‘home’, signaling his growing connection with Arsenal. This small gesture was warmly received by Arsenal fans, who appreciated his subtle dig at Chelsea since departing from Stamford Bridge. Earlier in the week, Havertz stirred controversy with comments regarding the Champions League. Despite Arsenal not having won the prestigious trophy before, Havertz expressed a strong desire to achieve this success with his current club rather than with Chelsea, where he had previously won it.
Kai Havertz said, “It was a good moment for me in my career and something that I’m always going to think about. It’s a nice feeling but it would be even nicer if I can do it with Arsenal and it would mean a lot more. It’s a long way but I think we’re all ready for it. If players ask me about it I tell them, but I think it’s just something new now.”
