Kai Havertz says he sees his future at Arsenal, with the Germany forward using his latest international media duties to shut down speculation over a possible summer departure.
Kai Havertz has moved to shut down any fresh speculation over his Arsenal future by making clear he sees himself staying in north London. Speaking while away with Germany, the 26-year-old delivered a direct response on his club plans, telling reporters: “I feel completely at home at Arsenal. I see my future at Arsenal London.” It was a firm statement that effectively put to bed rumours over a possible summer exit.
For Arsenal, it is a useful line to have out in the open. Havertz has had an unsettled period over the last 18 months because of injury disruption, but he remains a trusted part of Mikel Arteta’s squad and his latest remarks suggest there is no appetite on his side for a move away. The timing also matters, coming as he works his way back into full rhythm after a lengthy lay-off and re-establishes himself with Germany before the 2026 World Cup.
Havertz also made clear that both club and country remain central to his thinking over the months ahead. “We have many matches in three competitions. I missed the first six months of the season, and I will give it my all for the club and to be able to go to the World Cup with a lot of confidence. I want to be successful at this World Cup and lead the way,” he said. That only reinforces the sense that his focus is on contributing for Arsenal during the run-in and building momentum ahead of the tournament next year.
Havertz spoke candidly this week about how difficult his absence had been, admitting the spell out had not been straightforward and reflecting on the challenge of being sidelined for so long before returning to Julian Nagelsmann’s squad for the first time since November 2024
Arteta spoke in December about Havertz's ability to give his side a different dimension as he neared his comeback. Earlier this year, Havertz also spoke positively about his role and targets at the club, which sits comfortably alongside his latest declaration from the Germany camp.
There is still likely to be scrutiny on Arsenal’s forward line heading into the summer, particularly with the club regularly linked with attacking additions. But Havertz’s message is straightforward enough, if Arsenal want him, he's a Gunner for the foreseeable. For a player whose name can attract transfer noise quickly, that is about as clear a signal as he could give.
