Mikel Arteta's patience is paying off after Kai Havertz and David Raya played pivotal roles for Arsenal in season-opening win over Wolves

Daily Mail  

Of Mikel Arteta’s many attributes as a manager, these are the two he has been able to most effectively utilise with new arrivals. Last summer Arsenal splashed the cash on Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, Kai Havertz and David Raya. Kai Havertz scored Arsenal's first goal of the 2024-25 campaign, after netting 14 last season Saka doubled the scoring and provided an assist to down Wolves at the Emirates on Saturday And after Arteta’s assertion that goalkeepers are interchangeable having dropped Aaron Ramsdale, Raya too was feeling the pressure. Bukayo Saka scored a goal and provided an assist to down Wolves on Saturday, but it was Raya’s cat-like save in the first half – to deny Jorgen Strand Larsen – and Havertz’s opening headed goal which laid the platform for three points. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta's patience is paying off after his Arsenal team shone on opening day Sporting director Edu flew to Spain recently to try to finalise the deal.
