Former Chelsea player Kai Havertz is already being linked with a move away from Arsenal.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are paying attention to Kai Havertz’s situation at the Emirates and could make a move for the attacking midfielder in the new year.

Arsenal only signed Havertz in June, but he has really struggled under Mikel Arteta so far.

In the six Premier League games the 24-year-old has played, he has failed to score or provide an assist.

Havertz is also yet to register a goal contribution in the Champions League or the Carabao Cup.

Chelsea sale justified

Chelsea’s decision to sell Havertz looks like a good one if it did not already.

Having sold the German for £65m, the Blues basically made all of their money back.

We don’t think Havertz is a bad player. He is anything but, after all, this is someone who helped Chelsea win the Champions League not too long ago.

Havertz is also a Germany international who can play in multiple positions. He did struggle at times at Stamford Bridge, though, while things are not going well for him now.

At the end of the day, the former Bayer Leverkusen man, who only managed to score seven top-flight goals for Chelsea last season, may just not be suited to the Premier League.

If that is the case and he starts to accept it, then maybe he will move to another club like Barcelona. But this is not an old man we are talking about here. Havertz is still quite young and has time to turn things around at Arsenal.
