Rio Ferdinand has compared Chelsea forward Kai Havertz to former Manchester United and Arsenal striker Robin van Persie.
Havertz has been in fine form for the Blues in recent matches, with the German being used in the 'false nine' position in place of Romelu Lukaku, who seems to be out of favour under Thomas Tuchel. Havertz has scored five goals in his last six matches in all competitions for Chelsea.
The Germany international, when speaking before the Blues knocked out Lille in the Champions League round of 16 on Wednesday, stated his intention to keep improving and not settling despite his strong recent form. He said: "I'm in a good run right now I think. I've played some good matches in the past, so maybe with my performances in the last few matches.
