Cesc Fabregas says Kai Havertz reminds him of himself with his ability to play multiple roles for Arsenal.
"I don’t like to talk about me but he reminds me a little bit of me at Barcelona because I used to play these two roles that he plays as a false nine, in a way, and a number eight and I know exactly what it feels like," he said.
"It's good because he now feels an important player for the team but, at the same time, you don't really know where you're going to play the next game. It can confuse you, as it's better sometimes just to stick to one place and get the best out of it.
"But now [Thomas] Partey is back - which is great news for Arsenal - then [Declan] Rice will come a little bit as a No.8 more often and [Martin] Odegaard.
"So his place I think from now on will be in that No.9 spot and it suits him very well for the way Arsenal want to play."
Havertz was signed as Granit Xhaka's successor in midfield. However, the German has flourished in attack, contributing 11 goals and five assists in 33 Premier League appearances.
