Speaking on Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher said: "I think that when it comes to Arsenal defensively, they are as good as anyone in Europe right now.
"They have definitely improved in 2024 better than in the first half of the season. One of the reasons for this is the role of Kai Havertz.
"“He is a centre-forward, and he is helping Arsenal to do what they are doing right now, which is basically being so strong defensively
"That's what has given them a great chance to win the Premier League. Arsenal has been as impressive as anyone defending and going forward."
Havertz has helped Arsenal to defend from the front which explains why Mikel Arteta fought so hard to bring the German in from Chelsea last summer.
Despite a tough start to life at the Emirates, the 24-year-old has emerged as a key player at Arsenal amid their ongoing Premier League title challenge.
