Our source said: “Leipzig would love to take Emile on loan. He’s a player they’ve identified who they believe could help improve them and boost their chances of taking them to the Champions League.

Havertz signing 'cost Arsenal title'
Gabby Agbonlahor believes Mikel Arteta has cost Arsenal a shot at this season’s Premier League title with the signing of Kai Havertz.
He told talkSPORT: “I think the biggest thing Arsenal fans are annoyed with and what Arteta will regret is spending a lot of his transfer budget on Havertz.

“They’ve got [Fabio] Vieira, they’ve got [Emile] Smith Rowe who are probably better than Havertz in the same position.

I mean he had that spell when he wasn’t coming to the club. I was at his statue unveiling, which was really good to see him again, and he was in great form.
“He’s such a nice man and you know he wants the best for Arsenal Football Club. I’m sure if Mikel wanted to have a chat with Arsene Wenger then I’m sure he’d be up for it because he’s not that sort of man to turn him down. I’m sure if Mikel phoned him up, he’d help him as much as he could.”
