Kai Havertz
26-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Havertz was off to an excellent start in the 2024/25 campaign before injuries derailed him and limited him to 1,874 minutes in 23 appearances (21 starts). He finished with nine goals and three assists and was the team's top-choice striker prior to injury. He's never going to be a clinical out-and-out striker who pushes for 20 goals, but he links up well with Bukayo Saka and can finish the chances that fall for him. Havertz appears set to have more competition in the attack next season, and if that happens, his goal tally will likely drop. But either way, when healthy, Havertz still figures to have a spot in the starting XI no matter who is in the team.
Starts against Kairat
Havertz (knee) is in the starting lineup to face Kairat Almaty on Wednesday. According to manager Mikel Arteta, "We've missed him for a long time and it's great to see him back. Having a start in this context is really important."
ANALYSIS
Havertz will make his first start of the season despite having missed most of the latest matches and being questionable for the midweek clash. He's expected to feature in a midfield spot to give Martin Odegaard and Martin Zubimendi some rest. However, Havertz's playing time might remain limited in upcoming contests.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Form might change transfer plans
Havertz's recent form might lead to a change in Arsenal's transfer plans for the summer, according to The Mirror.
ANALYSIS
Arsenal were expected to sign a striker in the summer since they were getting virtually no production from either Gabriel Jesus or Kai Havertz. However, the German has been playing well in recent weeks, and Mikel Arteta is now pretty confident on opening the 2024-25 campaign with Havertz as the main threat upfront. If that's the case, then they wouldn't be serious contenders in the race to sign the likes of Ivan Toney or Victor Osimhen.
