Kai Havertz could become be the first Chelsea player to win a Premier League player of the month award since Eden Hazard in 2018, following his March nomination. The 22-year-old joins teammate Trevoh Chalobah among those put forward for the award.
Thomas Tuchel's solution to the west London side's number nine woes has led the frontline to excellent effect, directly contributing towards five goals in three appearances. Havertz has grown into an integral figure for Chelsea in recent weeks amid the club's off-field ownership saga.
The German international's deft finish against Newcastle, which has been nominated for Premier League goal of the month, typified his emergence as the Blues' talisman as he became the all-time top goalscorer of the Tuchel era. March has seen Havertz shift through the gears as he begins to answer his quest to fulfil Eden Hazard's role as the knight in shining armour at Stamford Bridge.
