21 Oct
Summary
- Havertz views Harry Kane as one of the best strikers he has ever seen.
- Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres share a strong friendship despite competition.
- Gyokeres was signed for £67 million in the summer of 2025 by Mikel Arteta.
Kai Havertz has spoken highly of Bayern Munich's Harry Kane, whom he considers one of the world's top strikers. Kane's prolific goalscoring for Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich serves as an inspiration for Havertz. The Arsenal forward may soon face his idol in a Champions League fixture.
Despite vying for the central striker position at Arsenal, Havertz maintains a close friendship with Viktor Gyokeres. Gyokeres joined Arsenal in the summer of 2025 for £67 million after an impressive spell at Sporting Lisbon. Although he has fallen out of favor this season with zero goal contributions, his relationship with Havertz is characterized by mutual respect and support.
The two forwards reportedly play padel together, with Havertz humorously describing their differing strengths. While Gyokeres possesses more power, Havertz believes he has superior technique. Despite Gyokeres's current lack of game time, their teammate dynamic remains positive, focused on collective team success.
