Arsenal target Havertz valued at £88m – Is that a fair price?

Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen will listen to offers of £88m for midfielder Kai Havertz, according to Mundo Deportivo, as quoted on the Daily Mail.

The German international is being closely monitored by multiple clubs, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Havertz scored his first senior international goal for Germany earlier this week during their 2-2 draw with Argentina and he’s being tipped for a big move next summer.

Is £88m a fair price for Havertz?

READ ARSENAL VERDICT 

£88m for a 20-year-old is risky, but he has shown his quality for club and country already and he is on course to become one of the world’s best players in his position.

He has a similar playing style to Mesut Ozil, creative on the ball with the eye for a defence-splitting pass, so he could be an upgrade on Ozil.

Ozil is currently frozen out of the first-team squad and if he ends up leaving the Gunners, then Havertz is the ideal replacement.

The only negative for Arsenal is the competition from European giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, who rarely get declined when they make a move for a player.
