If that's all we're getting why don't we just keep him? We regularly use him anyway and if ESR is actually gone we might see Havertz at midfield more too which adds even more reason

Because he's not good enough. He's a square peg in a round hole. He can go elsewhere and reach at least European class, but for us, he just doesn't offer enough and we need to move him on to bring in who we really need.

I genuinely disagree that he doesn't bring enough, especially as a second-third choice. He's not great but he's worth the 20m, especially given the dearth of strikers on the market.

You can disagree, but it's not me saying that, it's Arteta. There's a reason Havertz got ahead of Nketiah and there's a reason that we're not linked with similar strikers. We need someone that is equally comfortable playmaking as they are scoring.
