Paul Merson and Graham Potter have both heaped great praise on Kai Havertz following Chelsea's win over Leicester City. The 23-year-old played a key role in the Blues' victory at the King Power Stadium, giving Graham Potter's side the lead in the dying embers of the first-half.
Havertz has relished a revamped false-nine role in recent weeks, despite initially struggling to shoulder the responsibility of leading the west Londoners' frontline. The Germany international has impressed so much that he was even compared to one of the Premier League's all-time greats for his strike against Leicester.
Enzo Fernandez scooped the ball over the Foxes' backline to find Havertz, who had lost his marker. Then, on the volley, he lobbed Danny Ward, leaving the goalkeeper rooted to the spot as he watched the German's effort fly overhead.
