Havertz revealed in a recent interview that the process of joining Arsenal went very smoothly, which may be related to his desire to complete the transfer as soon as possible.

Havertz said: "I think it all happened very quickly. I remember I was on holiday and then we talked to people at Arsenal and there was this opportunity, so we made the decision.

"The whole process was very pleasant, I spoke to Edu and Arteta and all the conversations were great and made me feel very happy. So, I just wanted to get this done as quickly as possible, and maybe that's why things moved so quickly. "
