Arsenal’s Kai Havertz opened the scoring for Germany against Turkey after being deployed in a surprising new position.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old has struggled to make a major impact since joining Arsenal from Chelsea in a \u00a365million move in June.<\/p>\n
However, he impressed for Germany as he put his nation ahead against Turkey in a friendly in Berlin after just five minutes.<\/p>\n

Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann made the rather unusual decision to deploy Havertz as a left wing-back and it worked out well.<\/p>\n
Despite Havertz’s impact, however, Germany ended up losing 3-2.<\/p>\n
Ferdi Kadioglu equalised for Turkey, with Kenan Yildiz then putting the visitors in front.<\/p>\n
Niclas Fullkrug pulled Germany level but a penalty from Yusuf Sari saw Turkey prevail.<\/p>\n
It will be intriguing to see whether Germany, who are hosting Euro 2024 next summer, will continue to deploy Havertz on the left side of the defence.<\/p>\n
Havertz has mainly played in midfield for Arsenal, while he is also capable of operating up front or as a winger.<\/p>\n
Since joining the Gunners he has scored just one goal in 19 appearances, with that goal coming from the penalty spot away to Bournemouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
