Kai Havertz is reaping the rewards from Mikel Arteta’s new line of attack
The German is thriving leading the line for the Gunners and is lightening the load on Bukayo Saka on the goals front

For as long as Bukayo Saka remains so consistent, he’ll be Arsenal’s star. The homegrown winger registered his sixth and seventh league assists of the season as the Gunners came from behind to defeat relegation candidates Southampton on Saturday afternoon, also netting his second league goal of the campaign in the process.
Saka ranks among the top 10 players for shots (25), key passes (27) and dribbles (14) in England’s top tier this term to really highlight the range to his attacking output. As Arsenal go in pursuit of a first Premier League title in over 20 years, Saka is the main man. However, it’s impossible to label Arsenal a one-man team. The 23-year-old is evidently the prized jewel in Mikel Arteta’s crown but he’s surrounded by others who shine just as bright.
