Chelsea manager Frank Lampard believes that the versatility of new signing Kai Havertz could be the attacker’s chief strength.
Signed from Bayer Leverkusen for a club-record £70 million ($91m,) the 21-year-old can play across the forward line but also deeper in the midfield.
According to Goal, Lampard believes that such adaptability makes the Germany international, who scored 18 times and laid on another nine for his previous club last term, the ideal addition to a squad that has seen terrific investment in it over the summer.
“Kai, with his qualities, is flexible to play in different positions; I haven’t changed my view in a few days of seeing him so I think we can use his versatility,” he said.
“One of the pluses when I spoke to Kai is that he is very comfortable. He is not that: ‘I want to play in this position, this is all I want’.
“He is potentially very happy to help the team, he can give us quality in different areas so it is not one that we have to nail down.”
