EPL: Arteta speaks on Gyokeres, Havertz playing together for Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hinted that Viktor Gyökeres and Kai Havertz can play together.

Gyökeres arrived this summer from Sporting CP.

Havertz has played the centre-forward role for the Gunners over the past two seasons.

Arteta started Gyökeres in Arsenal’s last two pre-season friendlies against Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao, with Havertz replacing the Swede in the second fixture.

Both players scored in the 3-0 win over Bilbao in the Emirates Cup on Saturday.

Arteta said: “They can play together. It elevates the quality in the squad, the goal threat in the team and options we have to change and provide opposition with a lot of problems.

“It’s great to see both of them scoring. It’s a good problem to have.”
