With the transfer window closed and the dust settling, Arsenal fans are buzzing with anticipation for the new season. The club made significant investments in their squad this summer, splashing out a lot of money to bring in some top-quality players. As a result, expectations for these fresh faces are sky-high. The pressure is on for these newcomers to prove their worth and deliver the success that Arsenal desperately craves. But one of the Emirates newcomers has trouble adapting to the club: Kai Havertz.
However, Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, remains unfazed by Havertz’s slow start with the club, emphasizing the need for patience as the player finds his rhythm. With the commencement of the Champions League and local cups in England, Arteta acknowledges the necessity for squad rotation to maintain peak performance.
Havertz’s adjustment period doesn’t trouble Arteta, who understands the challenges of adapting to a new team and league. He firmly believes in the German talent’s potential and is willing to give him the time he needs to settle.
In this dynamic period of fixtures, Arteta plans to utilize several players to keep the team fresh and competitive. Those without much playing time shouldn’t be concerned, as opportunities will arise. Emile Smith Rowe and Fabio Vieira are among the players, patiently waiting for their chance to shine.
Fabio Vieira has shown promise as he stepped into Havertz’s position during recent games. The Portuguese midfielder made an impact against Fulham and impressed further in a cameo against Manchester United. Arteta has hinted at Vieira’s growing influence within the squad and the potential for more regular appearances if he continues to perform.
For Emile Smith Rowe, it has been a journey of recovery and resurgence. After overcoming injury setbacks, he showcased his abilities during the under-21 Euros with England and delivered an eye-catching pre-season performance for Arsenal. However, Arteta remains cautious about handing him additional minutes, suggesting that upcoming cup matches could provide the platform for Smith Rowe to convince the manager of his worth.
Arteta’s approach demonstrates his commitment to nurturing talent and maintaining a balanced squad to tackle the challenges ahead.
