Craig Burley believes Kai Havertz has demonstrated he cannot "cut it in England" after another poor performance from the German attacker. The 23-year-old is yet to register a goal or an assist in his opening five Premier League appearances of the 2022/23 season.
There were calls for Armando Broja to be handed a start in place of Havertz on Tuesday night. However, Thomas Tuchel stuck with his German countryman, but he failed to leave his mark on what was a disappointing Chelsea display down on the south coast.
With less than 48 hours of the summer transfer window remaining, Chelsea are still in the market for another couple of attacking options. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is one of them, and while personal terms or a fee with Barcelona are yet to be agreed, there is a genuine confidence from the Blues that a deal can be struck for the former Arsenal captain.
