Just look at this beast. Still only 19
Looks like he'd play where Ramsey has been playing as the 10. Shouldn't be a problem to accommodate a talent like that.Big fan of Havertz. Marries his strong technical ability with a solid frame (even if he is still becoming accustomed to his physique). Can press from the front, can score and assist. Link play is impressive and is also dangerous in transition.
Would be good forward planning to bring him in with Özil soon to be the wrong side of 30. Only concern is that signing him means we are wedded to the 4-2-3-1 system going forward because I can't see him fitting naturally as either an interior or wide forward.

I mean you can play with a 10 in a bunch of different formations. Emery just played 4-4-2 last weekend so it's not really an indication of anything other than the club being proactive in trying to sign what appears to be a great young talent. It doesn't mean we're wedded to anything definitively. Emery played 4-3-3 at times as PSG so while he has a preferred formation he has also shown that he's willing and able to adapt around the personnel he has. He'll find and do what works which is much more easily achieved with great talent like this kid appears to possess.Yeah, I understand that. My point is that if we are bringing in a 19 year-old #10 it means long-term we want to play with that system and I personally am not a huge fan of the 4-2-3-1. I also think if Ramsey leaves, Özil will move back to #10 and Havertz will be his back-up/successor instead of inheriting a starting place.
