Arsenal have completed the signing of Kai Havertz from Chelsea in a deal for up to £65 million ($82 million).
As Mikel Arteta prepares to improve his squad this summer, Arsenal has confirmed the signing of the Germany international on a long-term contract. The Gunners are also nearing an agreement with West Ham to sign Declan Rice.
Arteta said: “Kai is a player of top quality. He has great versatility and is an intelligent player. He will bring a huge amount of extra strength to our midfield and variety to our play.
“We welcome Kai and his family to Arsenal Football Club, and we are all excited to start working with him when we start pre-season training soon.”
Havertz will join his new Arsenal teammates before the club’s pre-season tour of the United States.
