2025 Fantasy Outlook
Havertz was off to an excellent start in the 2024/25 campaign before injuries derailed him and limited him to 1,874 minutes in 23 appearances (21 starts). He finished with nine goals and three assists and was the team's top-choice striker prior to injury. He's never going to be a clinical out-and-out striker who pushes for 20 goals, but he links up well with Bukayo Saka and can finish the chances that fall for him. Havertz appears set to have more competition in the attack next season, and if that happens, his goal tally will likely drop. But either way, when healthy, Havertz still figures to have a spot in the starting XI no matter who is in the team.
Potential option Sunday
Havertz (strain) is a late call for Sunday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "Well, we have to wait until tomorrow. But there is a big possibility that they are available for the game."
ANALYSIS
Havertz was eyeing a return for the North London Derby, and that could come to fruition, with the attacker set to be tested further. He will be met by a late fitness test ahead of the contest, likely deciding if he can play or not. Withthe reoccuring injuries and three games out, he will likely not start, more than likely an option from the bench if fit.

Two goal contributions in win
Havertz scored one goal and delivered one assist in the first half of Wednesday's 3-2 victory against Kairat in the Champions League before getting off at the break as a planned substitution, coach Mikel Arteta confirmed in a press conference. "The good thing is that he's fit, he's available and he's going to give us so much. He's fine, that's what we planned, 45 minutes [before being substituted]. We wanted to start him as well so he could do all the processes before that in the best possible way, and from now on we have to make a decision whether he starts or not in these competitions. "

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Form might change transfer plans
Havertz's recent form might lead to a change in Arsenal's transfer plans for the summer, according to The Mirror.
ANALYSIS
Arsenal were expected to sign a striker in the summer since they were getting virtually no production from either Gabriel Jesus or Kai Havertz. However, the German has been playing well in recent weeks, and Mikel Arteta is now pretty confident on opening the 2024-25 campaign with Havertz as the main threat upfront. If that's the case, then they wouldn't be serious contenders in the race to sign the likes of Ivan Toney or Victor Osimhen.
