Havertz joined Chelsea from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020 for a reported €80m fee.
At the time, the German was viewed as one of the brightest young talents in European football.
However, his stint in England has not worked out great. Barring scoring the winning goal in the 2021 Champions League final vs Manchester City, Havertz has done little to impress.
This past season he was used as Chelsea’s central attacker but scored just seven league goals and provided one assist in 35 outings.
Despite this, Arsenal are interested in a transfer this summer and now, Thierry Henry has compared the 24-year-old to Robin Van Persie.
“He reminds me sometimes, a little, of Robin back to goal the way he can hold the ball,” Henry told CBS Sports.
“This is why out of the guys that used to be wingers or No.10 he plays as a nine because with his back to goal he can hold the ball well. Now he needs to make sure he can transform that into more goals because you can play off him.”
