Kai Havertz decided to change clubs but not cities last summer. The German striker signed for Arsenal from Chelsea in a move that he believes "was worth it" despite things not being easy for him at first.
The rivalry between the two London clubs provoked anger among Chelsea fans at Havertz's departure, while many Gunners fans were less than enthusiastic about welcoming a striker straight from the Blues with open arms.
"The change from Chelsea to Arsenal was worth it. Chelsea fans were angry that I left, the Arsenal fans weren’t so enthusiastic either, because it didn’t go so well at start," said the Germany international.
However, as the months have gone by Havertz has become more comfortable at his new club despite failing to lift silverware this season, equalling figures from his best Chelsea goal-scoring season in his debut campaign under Arteta.
"Then there is strength when the coach, teammates and the people in your close environment stand by you and support you", he told Welt am Sonntag.
