Arsenal star Kai Havertz has welcomed his first child with his partner Sophia Weber Back in November, the couple took to Instagram to share news of Weber's pregnancy However, shortly after, Havertz's wife, Weber, was targeted by social media trolls who sent sickening abuse to her after Arsenal crashed out of the FA Cup. Havertz missed a penalty in Arsenal’s FA Cup shootout defeat against Manchester United on Sunday before his wife reposted two messages she received on Instagram. Some of the messages targeted her pregnancy, as she described one remark as ‘shocking’ before adding ‘I hope you are so ashamed of yourself’. Arsenal reported the abuse to the police and are working with specialist data firm Signify to try to identify the culprits. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta said: ‘It’s incredible, honestly. We really have to do something about it, because accepting that and hiding this has terrible consequences. ‘It’s something we have to eradicate from the game because it’s so cynical and dependent to a result of an action. There is no other industry like this'. ‘When we played Ipswich on December 27, we win 1-0 and Kai Havertz scores. The whole stadium after that is singing the ‘Waka, Waka’ (his chant). That was 20 days ago. Where is the perspective? The couple regularly share photos of their travels together with their followers on social media ‘We are all responsible. You guys (the media) are responsible, everybody is responsible for the narrative and how we talk. 'We cannot look somewhere else. That’s a really serious matter. It affects me. It affects him and everybody that is in the industry. ‘We can accept it and say that’s our job, but there are certain limits and the line has to be drawn. We put a lot of attention on technology and what is next in football. What is next in football is that this should be prohibited. It cannot happen. That’s it. ’
