Gunns loaded
Arsenal reportedly had eight other names on their transfer wishlist before swooping to sign Kai Havertz.
The Athletic Football Podcast states that Havertz is highly-rated by everybody at his new club.
But Arteta and Gunners transfer chief Edu did have other targets in mind – including an England international.
It claims that Mason Mount, who also left Chelsea for Manchester United in a £60m move this summer, was one.
Experienced German star Ilkay Gundogan, who quit Manchester City to join Barcelona on a free transfer once his contract expired, was another.
Mohammed Kudus, the 23-year-old Ghana international, was also on the list – but ultimately joined West Ham.
And the other person on that list is a man they have held a long-term interest in. That player is Inter Milan’s Nicolo Barella, 26, who has 51 caps for Italy.
