Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says he will need time to see where £65m summer signing fits into his team.

Arteta said “time will tell” where Havertz, who joined from London rivals Chelsea in June, would be best suited to play.

“We have to see how he adapts and obviously get to know each other and build relationships,” said Arteta.

“Football is about that and time will tell where he fits in best.

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring in the seventh minute at Max Morlock Stadium, before Jorginho scored a bizarre own goal from 35 yards to hand their Bundesliga hosts an equaliser.

Meanwhile, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy met with Bayern officials on Thursday over the possible sale of England captain Harry Kane.

However, the Spurs striker will be part of the squad for their pre-season tour of Australia and the Far East.

Tottenham left for Perth on Friday for Tuesday’s all-Premier League encounter with West Ham.

With one year left on his contract, Kane’s future has been subject to much speculation so far this summer.

Bayern are keen to sign Tottenham’s all-time leading goalscorer but have not been able to strike a deal.

When new boss Spurs Ange Postecoglou talked to the media on Monday, he said he planned to give Kane “his vision for how to make the club successful”.

After visiting Perth, Tottenham will fly to Thailand, where they will face Leicester on July 23 before heading to Singapore for a hastily arranged game against local side Lion City on  July 26 after initial opponents Roma pulled out of the trip.    BY THE STAR
