Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal manager, has stated that the choice to bring in Kai Havertz was not solely his own decision.
In a press conference on Friday, Arteta made it clear that the decision was made in consultation with sporting director Edu and other senior officials at the club.
Havertz, who joined from Chelsea for around £65m in the summer, initially had a tough time adjusting to life at the Emirates Stadium.
However, he has since managed to score 11 goals and provide five assists.
Arteta on the decision to sign Havertz, said: “It’s not my decision, it’s ur decision.
“We were super aligned with the club’s vision and then obviously on the sporting side, we made a recommendation.
“A lot of people were involved and then you need the ownership to back you as well and make things happen.”
