Havertz base salary is in the region of 275k per week, almost same as at Chelsea.

His price/wage might make fans expect a more “glamorous” role from him when in reality his current role is a bit more subtle.

When in controlled posession, Havertz with his 6.4 true tackles ranks number 3 in the Arsenal squad. Adds a bite to the team when out of posession.

When you pay a player £275k per week which are world class player wages as attacking 8 and he’s the second best paid player in the squad you can’t be only praised for defensive contributions and omit entire attacking department when Kai only passes ball to the back and side, isn’t even dribbling, nor shoots or target. There’s no doubt that with £275k per week and 69m € + 7m € in transfer fee we’re stuck with him for better or worse for at least next 4 years and as the time passes okay performances will be less acceptable.

Liverpool has very bonus based wagebill system, if they finish in top4 they’re paying more than us.
