When asked about Havertz's potential return for their Champions League semifinal against PSG, Arteta was bullish. 'Semi-finals? I think that's too close. But if I had to guess, I'd say yes,' he said.

'The way he works every day in that gym, pushing everyone, I don't think you can hold him much longer,' Arteta added.

Arsenal will face PSG on April 29 and May 7. Arteta also revealed he's planning to shake things up in midfield, with Myles Lewis-Skelly set to get a run-out.

'Yeah, for sure (confident in adapting player positions). It depends on the players as well if they are comfortable doing certain things and how we can maximise our qualities in relation to the game we expect against them,' Arteta said.

'We have a few options and we're not going to give anything away!' he added, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.
