Following weeks of negotiations, Arsenal officially announced the signing of Havertz from Chelsea in a deal reportedly worth £65 million.
Fans are eagerly sharing and discussing his impressive performance in his debut, signaling high hopes for his impact at his new club.

he Gunners went into halftime with a 1-0 lead courtesy of an excellent goal from Bukayo Saka. Havertz was introduced at the start of the second half, replacing Reiss Nelson.
However, during his time on the pitch, Havertz struggled to make an impact as Arsenal ended up drawing 1-1, with an unusual own goal by Jorginho.
The circulating video showcases Havertz’s performance in the match, stirring discussions among football fans.
