Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal have not swooped for Eberechi Eze because Kai Havertz has suffered a knee injury. Havertz has been dealing with a knee issue since last Sunday’s game at Old Trafford, which Arsenal won 1-0.

Mikel Arteta says Kai Havertz is set to undergo further assessments to determine the severity of his knee injury. The Athletic reported on August 20 that Havertz was set for a spell on the sidelines due to a knee injury, with the prognosis and timeframe for his return unclear.
