Lampard uses Premier League greats to defend Havertz over slow start to life at Chelsea

Kai Havertz’s slow start to life at Chelsea is “no problem” to Frank Lampard, with the Blues boss eager to point out that “some of the greatest players the Premier League has seen have taken time to succeed”.

The Germany international playmaker moved to Stamford Bridge in a £70 million ($95m) deal during the summer transfer window.

Amid links to leading sides across Europe, the talented 21-year-old decided that a new chapter in his career would be opened in England after opting to head through the exits at Bayer Leverkusen.
