Kai Havertz is certain to have a growing list of admirers following yet another crucial goal, this time against Newcastle United.
The German international took Jorginho's pass in his stride and finished with almost unbelievable ease to earn Chelsea a win with his 89th minute strike. With that moment in isolation, few would consider that he was signed as anything but a forward for the Blues. For now, there's little doubt that he is the number one choice to lead the forward line over his teammate Romelu Lukaku.
Havertz matched the Belgian's goal tally for the season on Sunday as he recorded his 11th strike of the season, and affirmed his place as the Blues' top goalscorer since Thomas Tuchel took charge at Stamford Bridge with 15 goals. There was once plenty of talk of Havertz's role being as false 9, but it's becoming more and more clear that he can be a striker and he sees himself as such.
