Kai Havertz admits he faces Chelsea issue Timo Werner failed with that Thomas Tuchel must solve

Kai Havertz is yet to get his first goal of the new league season, four matches in. The German has played all but 15 minutes so far but hasn't had the impact he and his manager would have hoped for ahead of tonight's (Tuesday) game with Southampton at St Mary's.

Playing alongside new signing Raheem Sterling, Havertz has a big season ahead of him after only delivering 12 goals in his first two campaigns. The 23-year-old has made a habbit of scoring important goals in knockout tournaments rather than cementing his consistency into a league season.

One of the biggest gripes that has come about his game is a slow start to seasons. His first league goal for Chelsea didn't come until his fifth match, with no more being added until April. Last season followed a similar trend, as he only scored twice before Christmas.
