Gabriel Martinelli has backed Kai Havertz to score "many more goals" for Arsenal as they approach the climax of the season.
Martinelli played the full match as Arsenal drew the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday.
The winger hit the crossbar in the first half before the Gunners fell behind, with Havertz coming off the bench to slot home an 89th-minute penalty to ensure Mikel Arteta's side will head into the second leg as favourites.
"He has a big personality," Martinelli said. "He is one of the penalty-takers in the team and everyone trusts him. We are happy for him to be back and scoring an amazing goal."
Havertz has missed a large part of this season through injury but has returned to fitness and featured in Arsenal's past four games, and has now scored three goals this season.
Arteta has played summer signing Viktor Gyokeres for most of the campaign, with Gabriel Jesus also only returning from injury in December.
"We have three number nines who are really good," Martinelli said when asked about the impact Havertz could have.
"Each one has their own way of playing – and we trust all of them. Kai is a player that we love. Everyone likes to play with him as well. Hopefully, he can score many more goals for us.
"Everyone is different. He can play as an attacking midfielder as well, so he likes to drop and play in midfield.
"Sometimes it is good for us because he makes that movement, and it opens up that space for us."
