BRIGHTEST STAR: Kai Havertz proves doubters wrong as Arsenal star’s incredible stats emerge after goal against PSG

Kai Havertz has put his enemies to rest with an amazing fact.

The striker scored for the SIXTH straight game at the Emirates, which helped Arsenal beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-0.

Only Robin Van Persie has done it more often in a row—seven times in 2011–12, right before he joined Manchester United.

Havertz’s brave goal in Tuesday’s Champions League win was proof of his rise to fame, which is one of the most amazing personal changes of the season.

He was bought from Chelsea in July 2023 for £65 million as a midfielder, and all of a sudden he looks like the ideal centre forward that Mikel Arteta has been looking for.

Havertz and Bukayo Saka scored when Arsenal was clearly ahead against PSG in the first half.

The way the German jumped to beat Gianluigi Donnarumma, the PSG custodian, reminded me of an old-fashioned British targetman. This was very different from the player who came and went from games and was such an unpredictable scorer, especially for Chelsea.

Arteta himself said great things about the 25-year-old after he led the queue so well.

“He has been unbelievable,” the Spanish person told Amazon Prime. 

“He brings people together with his football brain, the way he sees space, and his timing.” 

He has a great work ethic and is very dangerous around the box. He is a key player for us right now.

After two Champions League games, the Gunners have four points and haven’t given up a goal.

All of a sudden, though, Havertz on the other end is what makes the difference.

Now, on Saturday, he has what looks like a dream chance to tie Van Persie’s record of scoring in seven straight games at the Emirates.

Southampton, who is in third place, is coming to Arsenal’s home field.

The Saints, who were just promoted, have only earned one point from their first six games and have given up 12 goals.

With a goal, Havertz would also be ahead of Emmanuel Adebayor (2007–08) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (2019), who both had six goals.

At the start of the season, not many people would have thought Havertz would be able to do what he is doing now.

Now, not many people would bet against him beating RVP’s record number.
