Germany Have Many Options in Attack, Says Havertz

Germany forward Kai Havertz said the team’s abundance of attacking talent is a positive challenge.

Speaking from the national team’s training base, the Arsenal striker praised the squad’s depth ahead of the 2026 World Cup in North America.

Coach Julian Nagelsmann has a wide range of options in the forward line and attacking midfield, including Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala and in‑form striker Deniz Undav.

Havertz noted that instead of competing for individual starting spots, players are focused on collective success and versatility.

“We have many options in attack,” Havertz, who scored in Arsenal’s Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint‑Germain on penalties last week, said. “It is a very good problem to have. It is much better to have more good players than fewer in the team.”

“There is variety. We need all the players and many capable of playing in different positions,” he added when asked whether he feared internal competition from in‑form Undav, who scored twice and set up another goal against Finland.

“His stats speak for themselves. In the national team he is an extremely important part. We, as players, know that. No one fears anyone. We have to function as a team together and everyone will be needed.”

Kai Havertz has firmly established himself as a vital, versatile linchpin under Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, moving from an early‑career midfielder into a highly effective centre‑forward and pressing catalyst.

Known for his intelligent movement, elite aerial prowess and clinical finishing, he became an undisputed starter.

Germany recently clinched a 4‑0 victory over Finland in a friendly, even with Havertz absent due to club commitments.

As they aim to improve their international standing after disappointing early exits in recent tournaments, Havertz reinforced the importance of versatility and collective effort ahead of facing Curacao, Ivory Coast and Ecuador in Group E.
