Arsenal Manager, Mikel Arteta has told fans of the club that he sees Kai Havertz’s qualities in training and that he has no plan of benching him anytime soon.
He made the statement while addressing the press ahead of their Premier League game against Manchester United on Sunday.
The Spaniard during the media chat said he wants the Arsenal supporters to offer the German support rather than criticise him.

Arteta, while expressing his love for Havertz, said: “I’ll tell you what I feel about him, that I love him and I see his qualities every day in training.
“His work rate is excellent, a lot of the things he does at the front of the team is so good, the visual one.”
He went on to say apart from scoring goals and making assists, the former Chelsea forward possesses all other qualities.
Arteta then called on the fans to love the German international just like every other Arsenal player, saying he believes it is a matter of time before he starts finding the back of the net.
Havertz joined the Blues in a £65million deal from Chelsea this summer but has not been to score a goal or provide an assist in his opening four matches.
