Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has said the decision to sign Kai Havertz was not just his own.
Speaking to the media on Friday, Arteta insisted the decision was taken along with sporting director, Edu and other senior officials at the club.
Havertz arrived from Chelsea in the summer for a fee around £65m.
Although he struggled to settle into life at the Emirates, Havertz has gone on to score 11 goals and provided five assists.
Arteta on the decision to sign Havertz, said: “It’s not my decision, it’s our decision.
“We were super aligned with the club’s vision and then obviously on the sporting side, we made a recommendation.
“A lot of people were involved and then you need the ownership to back you as well and make things happen.”
