Kai Havertz reveals the moment that changed his Arsenal career and hails captain Martin Odegaard for 'stepping up' as a leader after returning from injury

Kai Havertz hailed the leadership qualities of Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard and revealed the exact moment that changed his Gunners career after a tough start at the club.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta urged the club to splash out £65m to their London rivals for Havertz in the summer of 2023 and originally faced scrutiny as the German struggled to settle.

It took 10 games for the one-time Chelsea Champions League winning hero to open his account in north London amid a run of difficult performances and has since gone on to be an integral figure for the title challengers.
