Arsenal forward Kai Havertz was recently asked an interesting question related to his former club Chelsea.
Chelsea sold Kai Havertz to Arsenal last summer in a £65m deal.
That sale made the 24-year-old one of the most expensive departures in the club’s history.
So far, Havertz’s move to Arsenal has worked out. He is having a good season individually and could win the Premier League title this month.
In 35 top flight appearances, the German has scored 12 goals and provided six assists. The Gunners are currently top of the table and 29 points ahead of their London rivals Chelsea.
Which Chelsea player would Kai Havertz bring to Arsenal if he could?
Havertz was recently asked which player at Chelsea would he bring to the Emirates. His response will not impress fans of his former club.
In response to the question, the Germany international told Chinese streaming service iQIYI in an interview: “I don’t even know, I think we have everyone here. I’m happy with the squad.”
Chelsea are not having the best season, but Mauricio Pochettino still has some very good players in his squad.
The above includes Cole Palmer, who has scored 24 goals in all competitions this term.
Would any of Chelsea’s players get into this Arsenal team?
After the season that he has had, Palmer’s name obviously comes to mind, though the presence of Bukayo Saka means that the 22-year-old would probably not start at right wing, where he has mostly played for Chelsea.
You can also make an argument for Nicolas Jackson, who has scored one more league goal than Havertz, someone who Mikel Arteta has used up front in the current campaign.
Arsenal supporters are likely to disagree, but Palmer and Jackson are two Chelsea players you could imagine Arteta using if he had them.
It seems, though, that Havertz would also probably disagree. Whatever the case, Palmer and Jackson are two players who have done well for Chelsea this term, especially the former.
