Arsenal are expected to first look at the loan and bargain basement markets if Kai Havertz is ruled out for a prolonged period of time with a knee injury.

The injury to Havertz, 26, leaves the Gunners with just one healthy center forward — new signing Viktor Gyokeres — as Gabriel Jesus has yet to return from last season's ACL injury.

Arsenal forward Kai Havertz is set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury, sources have told ESPN.

Havertz recovered from the hamstring problem that plagued him last campaign, but has now suffered a knee injury just one match into Arsenal’s 2025–26 Premier League title push. The German joins Gabriel Jesus, who is still recovering from an ACL injury, on the sidelines, leaving Viktor Gyökeres as the club’s only fit striker.

Former Arsenal star Theo Walcott has warned fans that it could take Viktor Gyokeres ‘a lot of time’ before he is able to work his way up to full match fitness in the Premier League.
