Ian Wright says people will be ‘very surprised’ by 24-year-old Arsenal man this season

 Ian Wright believes people will be very surprised by how good new Arsenal signing Kai Havertz is going to be this season.

Wright was speaking on the Wrighty’s House Podcast after the latest big news broke at the Emirates.

Kai Havertz was the first signing of the summer for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side

He was joined this week by defender Jurrien Timber and new record signing Declan Rice.

The trio will now all be available to feature for Arsenal on their pre-season tour of the United States.

Havertz has already made his first appearance for the Gunners in a friendly against Nurnberg.

Arsenal fans would have been glad to see Havertz in action and Wright has high hopes for him for the upcoming campaign.

Arteta described him as a ‘big talent’ and he’s already started to impress Arsenal’s backroom staff in training.

Now, he just needs to turn that early promise into performances in competitive matches.

Speaking about the German international, Wright said: “I feel very, very confident about that midfield and what that midfield can produce.

“Especially with [Kai] Havertz, Havertz in that role, I think we are going to be very surprised in his quality as well.
