Mikel Arteta: Eberechi Eze to Arsenal not connected to Kai Havertz injury as Gunners accelerate transfer plans

Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal have not swooped for Eberechi Eze because Kai Havertz has suffered a knee injury.

Havertz has been dealing with a knee issue since last Sunday’s game at Old Trafford, which Arsenal won 1-0.

The German will miss Saturday’s game with Leeds, but the full extent of his injury is unknown as Arsenal are still assessing him.

In the meantime, Arsenal have agreed a deal with Crystal Palace for Eze worth £60million plus £7.5m in add-ons.
