Premier League icon opens up and sends this Havertz message to Chelsea boss Lampard

Ian Wright has urged Frank Lampard to ‘put more emphasis’ on Kai Havertz in order to get the very best out of the new Chelsea star.

Regarded as one of the finest young players in the game right now, we beat off some heavy competition over the summer in order to get a transfer deal done for Havertz, spending £72 million in the process.

The Germany international has been played in a multitude of positions; on the wing, as false nine and No.10, with the latter his self-proclaimed favoured role, but he has not figured out his best position here just yet.

But Wright has handed Lampard some advice and admitted the 21-year-old needs to be in the middle of all the action to impact the play.

‘I want him to put more emphasis on Havertz and give him more of the ball,’ Wright said on the Kelly and Wrighty show. ‘I saw him do one lay-off for the goal for Hudson-Odoi where you think to yourself that guy has got to be in the middle of the game because he’s going to make things happen because he’s so talented.

‘When you look at Chelsea and what they’ve got especially going forward, I think Kai Havertz is going to be somebody that we’re going to be raving about as soon as he finds his feet. Same with [Timo] Werner with how sharp he is.’

Havertz will need time to find his best position at the Bridge, especially as he adapts to the quality of the Premier League, but it will be interesting to see how Lampard uses the lad moving forward.

As we said, Lampard has so many options on the wing and he will have some big choices to make in the coming weeks, so Havertz needs to step up or he could find himself on the bench.
