I honestly believe it will just take a full year before Havertz starts to show his talent again.
His best position is as an #8 but he’s played years as the False Nine which have changed his automatisms and style of play. It’ll take a year to integrate into Arteta’s system and start to play the 8 more naturally as an AM.
At the moment, he’s still playing midfield like a False Nine - dropping, and doing a one-touch back.
He needs to reintegrate turning and driving forward as his natural tendency
