Real Madrid are happy to have missed out on Arsenal summer signing Kai Havertz after his start to the new Premier League season, according to reports.
insist that a ‘delighted’ Real Madrid now see it as a ‘bullet dodged’ with Havertz having an underwhelming start to the season at Arsenal.
They say the Arsenal attacking midfielder is ‘the bullet that Madrid dodged’ and that they viewed the £65m fee for Havertz as a ‘very high figure’ for the 24-year-old.Havertz is yet to contribute a goal or an assist for Arsenal since joining in the summer andpick out ‘very little contribution’ this campaign as a reason for Real Madrid’s pleasure, as the fee the Gunners paid ‘already seems like a lot’.
“He has gone to Arsenal and the Arsenal fans don’t want him in the side. They are booing him, at the moment. They don’t want him in the team. They can’t understand why Arteta is playing the system that he is playing to fit Havertz into it. He is struggling at Arsenal, at the moment.” Havertz delivered a more involved display against PSV Eindhoven during the week and Arsenal boss Arteta reckons it’s only a matter before he becomes a success.“It’s true I asked him to play two different roles in regards to the behaviours of the opponents and he’s so intelligent that he does it. It’s just finishing one or two actions that we had but it’s coming and he’s so willing to do it.”
