In a surprising move, Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann started Arsenal forward Kai Havertz at left-back in their friendly against Turkey. This unexpected decision has sparked speculation about whether Havertz has finally found his position on the pitch.

Havertz, who has struggled to find consistency at Chelsea and Arsenal, has primarily played as a midfielder or forward throughout his career. However, Nagelsmann believes that the 24-year-old possesses the skills and versatility to excel as a full-back as well. "Kai won't always be in this position," Nagelsmann stated, suggesting that Havertz's deployment as a left-back was a tactical choice for the match.

The experiment seemed to pay off, as Havertz scored the opening goal of the game from his new position. This impressive performance has left Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta intrigued and eager to see if Havertz's success at left-back can be replicated at the club level.

While it is not uncommon for players to switch positions, it is rare to see a forward transition to being a full-back. However, the success of players like Bukayo Saka, who started as a left-back before becoming a winger, shows that such transformations can yield positive results.

Only time will tell if Havertz's outing at left-back was a one-time experiment or the start of a new chapter in his career. But for now, it seems that the German forward may have finally found a position where he can thrive.
