Kai Havertz appears to have finally found his feet at Chelsea and he believes he’s found his ‘perfect position’ at the club.
The Chelsea attacker has three goals and an assist in his last three Premier League matches, having only scored one goal in 22 previous matches at Stamford Bridge.
Havertz joined the blues from Bayern Leverkusen for £70m last summer but failed to make a sustained impact in the first half of the campaign.
The German star has been open over how he’s found his first year in the Premier League tough, but he now feels he is settled and has found his best position as a false nine under Tuchel.
‘To be honest, I don’t know!’ Havertz told the club’s official website when asked his current role. ‘I play somewhere up front – number nine, number 10, something in between – to be honest, I don’t know 100%.
‘I just enjoy the position right now because I feel very good there. I have a lot of fast strikers next to me right now, so that’s very nice and I think it’s the perfect position for me.
‘I can be dangerous in the box, I can have the ball a lot and that is what I like, so right now it’s very nice for me in this position.

‘I think the first year wasn’t very easy for me but I think I’m getting better and better, getting more confidence.
‘But, for me, the team effort was the most important thing this season, and that we get victories – that’s more important than my own personal things.
‘But, of course, I always want to play my best and I’m getting better now, so it feels good.’
