Fans send very exciting Chelsea message from the man who knows Havertz best
Raphael Honigstein has come out and told Chelsea fans what they can expect from new signing Kai Havertz.
Havertz was the top transfer target for Frank Lampard, but it was only a few days ago that the Blues legend managed to secure a transfer deal to bring the German star to the club.
He has been signed on a massive five-year contract that will make him one of the highest paid at the club, while also costing a whopping £71 million to secure, but there are many out there that believe he will be a world class players for the club.
The Athletic’s Raphael Honigstein has been following the lad throughout his career and has told Fans just what they can expect from the player, who has netted 38 goals in the last few seasons
‘Where Havertz is quite similar to Lampard is with the ability to arrive late in the box and score,’ he told the Chelsea website
‘That’s why some people in Germany have also compared him to Ballack, because Ballack also has this ability to join up with the attack, to find space on the edge of the box and score, sometimes with his head like Havertz does.
Those runs and that instinct for being in the right place at the right time, he’s already got it but I think it will only improve, because Lampard was the master in that. I’m sure he will pass his knowledge and his experience on to Havertz.
‘In a wider sense, it’s playing in a team that plays the type of football he wants to play, being surrounded by young players who are also growing and want to achieve things together – that was the big draw from what I understand. Players like Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi can potentially go to a different level once you add Havertz and Timo Werner to the mix.
‘It felt to me and many others he had outgrown this Bayer Leverkusen team. He was so clearly the best player, there wasn’t really much to gain from him being there much longer, and part of the reason for him to move is to be surrounded by players who can bring more out of him and help him develop.’
