Former Germany midfielder Didi Hamann believes Kai Havertz will play in attack for Arsenal.

There has been talk of a midfield role for the signing from Chelsea.

But Hamann told Lord Ping: "I think Kai Havertz's best position is up front, just off the main striker. I think he'll play with Gabriel Jesus, up top. Arsenal are a team that likes to pass the ball a lot more than Chelsea, and I think that will suit Havertz. We will see the real Havertz that we saw at Bayer Leverkusen when he was 17 and scoring important goals.

"I remember when he was still in school and Havertz scored a goal that stopped Bayer Leverkusen from being relegated. Havertz is the player to watch out for, he'll be a different player this season coming.

"Havertz would play better with an out-and-out number nine, someone like Romelu Lukaku, Harry Kane or Robert Lewandowski, as they keep defenders occupied which gives Havertz the space he needs. Gabriel Jesus drifts wide, but we've seen how brilliant of a player he can be and it wouldn't surprise me to see them link up well together."
