Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard are making the most of the off-season by going on vacation together ahead of the 2017 European Championship.
The Arsenal duo suffered sadness on the last day of the Premier League season, as Manchester City performed flawlessly to defeat the Gunners to the title.
Mikel Arteta must now find a way to rouse his group for another title run after finishing second to City the last two seasons, with Havertz and Odegaard essential roles in his strategy.
Havertz will compete with Germany in the forthcoming Euros, while Odegaard will take an extended rest after Norway failed to qualify for the competition, but the two are enjoying the sun together during a mini-holiday abroad.
Havertz uploaded a heartwarming photo of the couple laughing and smiling on a luxurious yacht while playing poker against a magnificent scenic backdrop.
The former Chelsea player captioned his post’recharging’, much to the joy of Arsenal fans who are desperate for their team to win the Premier League title next season.
Havertz only joined Arsenal last year in a £65 million transfer from London rivals Chelsea, and he struggled to settle at the Emirates, with many fans screaming for his release.
The 24-year-old improved his form to become one of Arsenal’s performers of the season, replacing Gabriel Jesus as Arteta’s primary striker and scored 13 goals in 37 appearances.
Meanwhile, Odegaard has impressed as club captain and is a strong contender for Arsenal’s player of the season award for the second time in a row.
Arsenal’s stars have a head start on their rivals Manchester City as they begin their post-season recuperation, as Pep Guardiola’s team prepares to face Manchester United in Saturday’s FA Cup final.
Havertz previously praised his debut season with the club, writing on his X page, “Where do I start… My first season has helped me improve as a person and player in a variety of ways.
‘I am extremely appreciative for all of the support this season from fans, staff, and my teammates. It will take some time to comprehend everything, but I am confident that with this club, we can achieve great things.
