Chelsea striker Kai Havertz has continued to impress in recent weeks for the Blues, earning a place as one of the first names on the team sheet every matchday. His performances have been much-needed for Thomas Tuchel and his men, creating a comfortable gap to the sides chasing a top four finish this season.
The 22-year-old has scored six goals and assisted three in 20 Premier League appearances, taking his tally of goals across all competitions to 11, joint top with Romelu Lukaku. Despite the arrival of the Belgian in the summer for a club-record fee, it’s actually been Havertz in recent weeks that has led the line.
Discussing his importance earlier this month, Tuchel said to the media: “Nobody is undroppable but if he [Kai Havertz] plays like this, he stepped up in his mentality in his game. He is very good and has a huge influence physically and from his quality in our game.
