Arsenal's summer signing Kai Havertz found the net against RC Lens in the Champions League on Wednesday (November 29).

The German was on target with the first goal as the Gunners put six past the French club to ensure their progress to the Champions League knockout rounds as group winners.

Havertz has been a subject of criticism since joining the Gunners this summer. He has been under the wrath of a section of Arsenal fans for lack of goal-scoring, but has found the net in the last two matches. The former Chelsea man also scored the winning goal against Brentford last weekend in the Premier League.

And ahead of Arsenal's Premier League match against Wolves on Saturday, the Gunners boss Mikel Arteta was asked about Havertz's change in body language after his better return in the last ten days.

But the Gunners boss says Havertz was always positive about his own skills, but admits that goals has definitely lifted his body language.

"Not really. He's been very positive and he's been so influential in a good way to his teammates and the team, but obviously, his confidence grows. He's really looking forward to something," Arteta said.

"When you feel loved, when you feel respected and when you feel admired, things are much easier. Your energy is better, your body language is better and I think that's the way he's felt in the last few days," the Gunners boss added.

Kai Havertz a shy character?

When asked if Kai Havertz is a shy character, Mikel Arteta says the German player is not someone who boasts about and likes to stay away from the limelight.

"He's not someone that wants to be there in the frontline or at least he doesn't show it in that way, but then if you ask him to go to war, he will be the first one down there but he doesn't want to take that credit and I think he deserved that credit on the day," the Gunners boss further said.
