Premier League

Chelsea summer signings Kai Havertz and Timo Werner both scored and made assists in Germany’s 3-3 draw versus Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League.

We won’t allow ourselves to be knocked off course and we will carry on as we are. ‘W...

Man Utd failed with big-money move for Kai Havertz as Chelsea blew them out of water

Premier League

Manchester United looked at the possibility of signing a couple of attacking players and asked about Kai Havertz only for Chelsea to blow them out of the water, according to reports. United endured a frustrating transfer window despite a late deadline-day flurry of activity, having spent most of the summer trying to sign Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho, and a move still failed to materialise. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Borussia Dortmund were always adamant that the England star would not be allowed to leave the club after their deadline back in August, with United giving up their pursuit just before the transfer window closed. Instead, they brought in Edinson Cavani on a free transfer, the forward has not played since March, and added some young playe...

Ian Wright offers Lampard advice over the role of Kai Havertz at Chelsea

Premier League

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has told Frank Lampard to ‘put more emphasis’ on Kai Havertz in order for the midfielder to make things happen at the club. Havertz has shown flashes of brilliance in his first four matches for Chelsea, netting a hat-trick in the 6-0 Carabao Cup victory over Barnsley and providing an assist for Hudson-Odoi’s goal in the 3-3 draw with West Brom. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The German star has been played in a number of positions; on the wing, as false nine and No.10, with the latter his self-proclaimed favoured position. Wright says the 21-year-old needs to be in the middle of all the action that happens to impact the play. ‘I want him to put more emphasis on Havertz and give him more of the ball,’ Wright said on the Kelly ...

Kai Havertz tells Lampard his favourite position at Chelsea

Premier League

Kai Havertz says he is happy to play anywhere as long as he is selected by Frank Lampard after joining Chelsea, but concedes he has a favourite position. The Germany star's versatility represented one of the major reasons Lampard wanted to sign the former Bayer Leverkusen midfielder who represents the headline purchase of a big-spending summer window for the blues. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Havertz started Monday’s season opener at Brighton and although Chelsea began with a convincing 3-1 win, the 21-year-old gave a poor performance and conceded afterwards he was left exhausted after his first taste of Premier League action. Lampard deployed Havertz on the right flank against Brighton with Mason Mount occupying a central role and Ruben Loftus-Chee...

Lampard rates Havertz & Werner after their Chelsea debuts vs Brighton

Premier League

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard says there’s more to come from new stars Kai Havertz and Timo Werner after the duo made their full debuts in the club's win against Brighton. Chelsea started their Premier League season with a 3-1 victory, where Lampard handed full debuts to both of his new German signings. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Werner played a key role in Chelsea’s opener when he was taken down by Mat Ryan in the area after an interception high up the field, which allowed Jorginho to score from 12 yards. But, Havertz had a quiet debut and it was clear that the former Leverkusen midfielder will need him time with his new team-mates to adapt at the club. But Lampard was impressed with both players and says they’ll only get better. On Havertz’s p...

Premier League

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But addressing the rumours, Lampard said: ‘I saw the story about Mason Mount and I know it was an absolute fabricated from somebody, particularly if it came from the German end. ‘I’m not sure if he has any relatives out there or friends he would talk to, it’s a strange angle for that to come from Mason.
