When asked about Havertz's chances of playing in the Champions League semi-final against PSG, Arteta was confident. 'Semi-finals? I think that's too soon,' he said. 'But if I had to guess, I'd say yes.'

Arteta's faith in Havertz is unwavering. 'The way he works every day, pushing everyone, I don't think you can hold him back much longer,' he added.

Arsenal's clash with PSG is set for April 29 and May 7. Arteta also hinted at a midfield experiment, with Myles Lewis-Skelly potentially taking the reins.

'Yeah, for sure,' Arteta said. 'It depends on the players and how we can maximize our qualities.'

'We have a few options and we're not going to give anything away!' he teased, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.
