Havertz regretting Chelsea move

Rio Ferdinand says Chelsea star Kai Havertz reminds him of his old team-mate Dimitar Berbatov.

Havertz was one the big money signings that Frank Lampard managed to bring to the cub last summer in that £200 million transfer splurge that he was given, but he did not have the very best of starts at the club.

However, since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel at the club he is starting to look like the players that dominated so many teams in the Bundesliga last season, and he has been impressing many in the media.

WHAT HAS FERDINAND SAID??

The former Manchester United centre-back has been impressed by the German’s performances recently and likened him to the former Bulgarian talisman: ‘It is normal that not all players hit the ground running perfectly,’ Ferdinand said on BT Sport. ‘He is one of them and he has taken the time to adapt.

‘But I think you can see the quality is there, we saw it at Bayer Leverkusen in previous years that he was a hugely talented footballer.’

Ferdinand compared Havertz to the former Tottenham and Manchester United attacker, who also arrived in the Premier League from Bayer Leverkusen.

‘He reminds me a little bit of Berbatov in how cool, calm and collected he is,’ Ferdinand continued.

‘He is very silky, he plays on the edge of the game a little bit at times and drifts about.’

Havertz is a brilliantly gifted players that will go on to become world class, so despite his slow start to life at the club, he really was a very good signing by the club.
