LONDON: Kai Havertz insists he is not about to let up in his pursuit of delivering the Premier League title to Arsenal.The Gunners remain one point clear at the top of the table following a 3-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday.

A Bukayo Saka penalty on the stroke of half-time followed by second-half goals for Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice saw off the Cherries to leave Arsenal at the summit heading into their final two games of the campaign.The destiny of the trophy remains out of the their hands, however, as Manchester City have a game in hand and sit just on the shoulder of Mikel Arteta’s men.

Havertz, who has scored three in three and won the spot-kick which Saka slotted home to break the deadlock, is relishing the pressure of the run-in and is committed to seeing it through.

“I really enjoy every second,” he said.“Sometimes I feel like I don’t even want to have a day off because you’re just so excited for the weekend and really want to work with the team, try to get everything out of us to be better prepared and we do that every single day.

“The other players especially make it quite easy for me so I enjoy my role, try to work hard in training and try to help the team. “It’s going to be two tough games. We have a lot to play for, we have to win those games and then see where we’re going to go.“Right now, though, the mood is good but we’re going to prepare now for the big game this week against Manchester United and hopefully win that as well.”
