Chelsea will take on Arsenal in the Premier League on Wednesday and ahead of the match Blues manager Thomas Tuchel has compared Kai Havertz to Gunners legends.
Havertz has made an impact since joining Chelsea in 2020, scoring the winning goal in the 20/21 Champions League final and securing his starting spot.
The German international was at at the club when Tuchel took over from fired manager Frank Lampard and he has been impressed with the star.
He said: “I see a bit of Dennis Bergkamp, Robin van Persie, [Dimitar] Berbatov kind of player. He can play in the half position because he has good runs, but also feels free from the nine and creates overload to one side.
“When I watched him at Leverkusen, I didn’t know that I would coach him, when I watched him at Paris [Saint-Germain], they made him play as a nine which was very interesting.”
But will he play against Arsenal and how can fans watch? Here’s all you need to know.
