Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Arteta made the comment after Havertz’s debut for the Gunners in a 1-1 draw with Nurnberg in a pre-season friendly on Thursday.
The Germany international was deployed in the inside left position of midfield following his £65million move from Chelsea.
And although some pundits have tipped him to replace Xhaka who has sealed a move to Bayer Leverkusen, Arteta expects Havertz to bring something different.
Arteta said: He’s not a replacement [for Xhaka]. He’s not gonna be like-for-like because everybody’s going to be very different to what Granit gave us.
“It will be very different but Kai has tremendous qualities for our way of playing.”
