Arsenal star Kai Havertz is set to make his return to Stamford Bridge this weekend as his side make the short trip across London to face rivals Chelsea. The German international spent three-years with the Blues, having joined from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee worth roughly £75million.

One of the brightest young talents in Europe, Havertz was viewed as a forward that would push Chelsea to that next level. To some degree, that was right as his goal proved to be the difference in the Champions League final later that season, beating Manchester City 1-0 to lift the trophy a second time.

There was a struggle for some consistency and uncertainty over where his best position on the pitch was for the Blues. Then, over a huge fire sale of players in the summer, a chance to move away appeared as Havertz switched blue for red and west London for north London.

A deal worth roughly £65million was struck and a deal that few predicted had occurred, with Mikel Arteta looking to tap into that potential of the 24-year-old. The Spaniard has experimented with using Havertz in the left-side of a midfield trio as well as coming from the bench as a centre-forward.

The new arrival has one goal to his name, a penalty against Bournemouth that was handed to him by his teammates and one that will ideally spur on confidence and more to come. There may be questions over whether that second goal could well come against his former team at the weekend, when they face off.

There will be one clear change to Havertz's appearance when he enters the pitch though and that will be the boots he will be wearing. PUMA announced on Monday, October 16 that a new long-term partnership had been agreed that will see the midfielder in a fresh look with his boots.

That has seen him move away from Nike as his previous choice, and though he may not be superstitious, some players are and may see the change as a new chance to bring some confidence and goals too. Speaking on the change to PUMA, Havertz said: "Growing up in Germany PUMA has always been an iconic brand with some of the greatest players ever wearing their products.

"PUMA has always been an innovative brand when it comes to football boots and the way they work with athletes. When I met with the team and discussed plans for the future, I knew this was the right fit for me. They understand athletes and really want to be collaborate with their players; it really is a family atmosphere.

“Wearing the FUTURE boot is the perfect fit for my game and is a boot I was eager to move into, there is no other boot like it. PUMA are not only excelling as a brand on the pitch but are making huge waves in other areas of sport and fashion. We are working on some exciting projects, and I am looking forward to what the future holds."
