Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says Kai Havertz has undergone a "transformation in his body" while being injured and claimed he "destroyed all the metrics we had in the gym for the last 10 years."

Mikel Arteta says there has been a “transformation” in Kai Havertz ’s body during his injury lay-off and the striker has now taken his physique to a “different level” by bulking up. Havertz injured his hamstring in February and the initial diagnosis was that he would miss the rest of this season.

Mikel Arteta has suggested Arsenal may exceed their transfer budget to acquire a striker this summer. The Gunners will finish the season trophyless after their Champions League semi-final exit.
