  • Arsenal fans went into meltdown after finding out about Kai Havertz’s height
  • The German completed his move from Chelsea to North London and has started training with the first team
  • Following his move, Havertz is now among the tallest players at the club

Arsenal fans have come to an interesting realization about their new signing, Kai Havertz, as the German hopes to make his first appearance as a Gunner this week.

He joined Arsenal from Chelsea for £65 million as the Gunners look to revamp their squad ahead of another title charge in the 2023/24 campaign.

Havertz, like the rest of his new teammates, was involved in international football in June, and only resumed club training on Saturday.

Since then, photos and videos of the 24-year-old in Arsenal colours have emerged on social media, and Arsenal fans all had the same thing to say about them.

One particular photo that attracted interest was the German standing next to William Saliba, who is a known towering figure at the Emirates.

Here are some reactions from fans:

@Wcrown87 said:

"I never for once thought he was this tall."

Another fan added:

“I knew he was 6 foot but 6 foot 4 I did not know that”

While @enigma on Tiktok trolled Arsenal fans by saying:

“They know nothing about Havertz that's why they're gassed lol we have more to tell them.”

@whitebeltKadoreing said:

“Because he barely using his height in his games I think.”

How tall is Kai Havertz?

According to Transfermkt, Havertz stands at a staggering 1.9 metres, or six-foot-four (6’4) in height, making him one of the tallest players at Arsenal.

Only Willian Saliba and Matt Turner come close to Havertz’s height, but they need their tall physique since one is a defender and the other a goalkeeper.

Havertz could make his debut for Arsenal as early as Thursday, July 13, when the Gunners take on German side Nuremberg.

Arsenal kit best in 2023/24?

Sports Brief also reported on the best football kits ahead of the new season, and Arsenal’s shirt ranks high.

While the release dates for kits vary from club to club, with some already unveiled and in use before the previous season had concluded, some designs remain a secret.

Several clubs across Europe have released theirs, however, with the likes of Fiorentina in Italy and RC Lens in France showing off some unique designs.
