The Swede will be direct competition for Havertz, who was Arsenal’s No9 last season, and Arteta believes it is a “good problem” to have.
The Arsenal boss has also not ruled out playing the pair together – and both players were on the scoresheet on Saturday as the Gunners beat Athletic Club 3-0 in their final pre-season friendly.
“They can play together,” said Arteta. “Kai can play in different positions, as well.
“I think it elevates the quality in the squad, the goal threat that we have in the team, the options that we have to change and provide oppositions with a lot of problems.
“It is great to see both of them scoring, both of them in such good form and it’s a good problem to have.”
