Kai Havertz comments on tough beginning at Chelsea

Kai Havertz has spoken out about his start to life at Chelsea, admitting that he needs to improve.

Havertz came to Chelsea from Bayer Leverkusen last summer for an astronomical fee of approximately £72 million, making him the club’s all time record transfer. It was hoped that he would be one of many difference-makers as the Blues pushed for the Premier League title.

Havertz and Werner were two players expected to propel Chelsea to a title challenge

However, things haven’t gone as planned for the Germany international. Having struggled with injuries and COVID-19, he has scored just once and assisted twice in the league, while adding four goals in the domestic cups against lower league opposition.
