Mikel Arteta insisted Arsenal’s dramatic move to sign Eberechi Eze is not a panic reaction to Kai Havertz’s knee injury.

Arteta confirmed Havertz will miss Arsenal’s Premier League clash against Leeds at the Emirates on Saturday but claimed it is still too early to say how long the Germany international will be sidelined for.
