Kai Havertz has now achieved something that only Alexis Sanchez has done at Arsenal in the last seven years.
The German forward has not exactly wowed in west London, and many questioned where he would fit into this Arsenal squad. However, despite a rough start at the Emirates Stadium, Havertz is currently proving many people wrong.
The 24-year-old has dominated Arsenal’s attack in recent months, and his goal-scoring record has helped them keep up with Manchester City in the championship fight.
Havertz Breaks New Record At Arsenal
Indeed, Havertz has eight goals and five assists in his previous 11 Premier League appearances for Arsenal.
His most recent goal came in yesterday’s North London Derby, which Arsenal won 3-2 despite a scare in the second half. It turned out to be the game-winning goal.
TBR Football claims Havertz persevered despite being sick throughout yesterday’s derby, according to Arteta, who also praised the forward for a “sensational” performance.

Only Alexis Sanchez has accomplished what Havertz has currently accomplished in the 2016–17 campaign.
In more than four Premier League games this season, the German forward has already recorded a goal and an assist.
Only Havertz has reached this milestone since Sanchez’s amazing final season at Arsenal.
Havertz’s efforts for Arsenal this season as a striker have taken a lot of people by surprise.
The German star up front makes the Gunners appear like a far greater team than they were when he played a similar role at Chelsea, when he frequently struggled.
It is a well-known fact that Ivan Toney and other forwards were frequently mentioned when Arsenal was being pressed to sign a new contract in January.
However, Havertz is shown that he can play at the front of the Arsenal attack, and recently, he has had some remarkable goalscoring performances.
