Kai Havertz aims brutal dig at Chelsea as he says there isn’t a single former team-mate who’d get in Arsenal team
KAI HAVERTZ aimed a brutal dig at his old club as Arsenal look to secure the Premier League title.
The attacking midfielder has had a mixed season for the Gunners since joining from Chelsea for £65m.
But the German was the standout player as he struck twice when Arsenal hammered the Blues 5-0 at the Emirates two weeks ago.
And Havertz has now claimed that not a single former Chelsea team-mate would get into the title-chasing Gunners side.
He told Chinese streaming service iQIYI: “I don’t even know, I think we have everyone here. I’m happy with the squad.”
Havertz was also asked about former Chelsea ace Joao Felix, who is now on loan at Barcelona from Atletico Madrid.
But he said: “He’s an amazing player, a quality player for sure. But yeah, I have to say that I’m happy with the squad.”
The German scored the winning goal when he won the Champions League final against Man City alongside the likes of Antonio Rudiger, N’Golo Kante, Thiago Silva and Reece James.
And he was also at Stamford Bridge for the first season of Chelsea’s £1bn revamp under Todd Boehly.
That means he played with the likes of Enzo Fernandez, Conor Gallagher and former Arsenal target Mykhailo Mudryk.

However, Havertz was not at Chelsea when star man Cole Palmer and record signing Moises Caicedo arrived this summer.
Palmer has had a fantastic season despite his team’s mediocrity, with the England star notching 21 goals from midfield in 30 Premier League games.
