Kai Havertz chant: Lyrics, tune & video of Arsenal's song for summer signing set to Shakira's Waka Waka

The 24-year-old swapped Chelsea for Arsenal this summer in a £65 million deal ($79.2m) and after a slow start, the goals are flying in for the German international.

The ex-Bayer Leverkusen man scored the winner in the Gunners' 2-1 victory over Brentford for his fourth goal in as many games - a stark contrast from when Blues legend Frank Leboeuf even said Havertz's best position is "on the bench" earlier this season.

The Havertz love-in began when he scored his first goal for his new club in a 4-0 win for Arsenal away at Bournemouth in late September and ever since the club's supporters have serenaded him with a snippet of Shakira's hit record 'Waka Waka'. Now, GOAL has everything you need to know about this viral chant.

What are the lyrics to the Kai Havertz chant?

The Gunners fans used the chorus of the singer's football anthem, and it goes:

Tsamina mina, eh, eh,
Waka waka, eh, eh,
£60 million down the drain,
Kai Havertz scores again.

Listen to the song below.

Why does Havertz have his own chant?

Some of Arsenal's players are given a song after endearing themselves a great deal to their supporters, such as William Saliba.

Initially, it seemed Havertz was given one out of pity as he struggled to make a telling impact earlier on in his time with the club - as debate raged over whether his best position was in midfield, as a false nine, or on the right.

Ever since fans came up with this song, the German has repeatedly thanked them for their support and after bringing his goal tally to nine for the season in all competitions, the chant is becoming a regular occurrence.

What is the 'Waka Waka' song?

Colombian singer Shakira brought out this song before the 2010 Football World Cup in South Africa and since then it has become something of a cult classic.

The song has sold 15 million downloads worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time.

Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) is also known as Waka Waka (Esto es Africa) in Spanish and the song samples the original Cameroonian song Zamina mina (Zangalewa) by Golden Sounds which was a hit song in 1986.

Waka Waka has been sung at many football World Cups and sporting events ever since then.
