Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was tight-lipped about the potential arrival of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace and confirmed a knee injury to Kai Havertz.

The injury to Havertz, 26, leaves the Gunners with just one healthy center forward — new signing Viktor Gyokeres — as Gabriel Jesus has yet to return from last season's ACL injury.

Explaining why Arsenal went ahead with Trossard's revamped contract, and the implications for the rest of their transfer business.

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.

Kai Havertz has been ruled out of Saturday’s game against Leeds United, having picked up an injury this week. In Mikel Arteta’s pre-match press conference at the Sobha Realty Training Centre on Friday, our manager was asked for more information.

Arsenal defeated Leeds United 5–0 at home in a rollercoaster day at Emirates Stadium. The afternoon began with a bang as Eberechi Eze was announced and presented in front of the home crowd. Mikel Arteta made a big call in attack bringing Noni Madueke in as the left-sided forward seeing a lot of the ball early.
