A 17-year-old boy who harassed Sophia Havertz, the wife of Arsenal player Kai Havertz, on social media has been arrested.
Sophia Havertz had announced that she received harassment messages on Instagram after the Arsenal-Manchester United FA Cup match played on January 12. She shared the messages she received after her husband missed a crucial penalty in the match on her Instagram story.
The German footballer had been in the spotlight for the penalty kick saved by Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayındır and the clear goal opportunity he missed in extra time during the third-round match.
Sophia shared a message containing insults directed at the couple's unborn child, stating, "It shocks me so much to think that someone thinks it's normal to write something like this. I hope you are ashamed of yourselves."
Sharing another message, Sophia wrote, "I don't know what to say, but please be more respectful. We are better than this."
The Hertfordshire Police Department announced that a 17-year-old boy from St Albans was arrested on suspicion of "malicious communication" and has been released on bail while the investigation continues.
Havertz increased his goal tally for the season to 13 with a goal in the match against Aston Villa played over the weekend. In the absence of the injured Gabriel Jesus, the German footballer is also expected to play in his team's Champions League group match against Dinamo Zagreb.
