Frank Lampard recently spoke about the growth of Kai Havertz. The former Chelsea man is currently shining for London-rivals Arsenal. The 25-year-old did not enjoy a good start to his life in the Premier League. The German was a prolific teenager with a lot of potential in his Bayer Leverkusen days. As per transfermarkt, he would go on to make 77 G/A in 150 appearances for them. As a result, the Blues opted to sign the rising star in 2020. But, he would go on to have a very rocky start. As per wikipedia, he only managed to score 9 times in his first season at the club.
Frank Lampard on why Kai Havertz flopped at Chelsea
The 25-year-old was unable to find his groove. But, he did manage to score their most important goal of the season. He would score the winner against Man City in the UCL finals under Thomas Tuchel. Despite the win, it was not a good season for him on an individual level. Talking on Amazon Prime, Frank Lampard would make it clear why Kai Havertz was unable to shine. The Englishman stated that he was not quite clear as to where exactly field the German. So, he was never really able to perform as he could not find a position to place him in. As a result, he was always struggling and was unable to find his feet at Chelsea like he has done with Arsenal.
The German star proves himself on the red side of London
Mikel Arteta made a shocking move for the 25-year-old last season. The Gunners would go on to sign him for a whopping £65 million fee. Since joining, he has really performed for the London Reds. At the same time, he has finally manage to find his proper position. Now, he continues to grow and perform in the center-forward position. As a result, Kai Havertz is regularly involved in front of goal again. As of now, he already has 27 G/A for the Gunners. He has a lot of potential and could go on to become a big player for them. He recently scored against PSG in the match day 2 of UCL. At the same time, he stated that a UCL win with Arsenal ‘would mean a lot more’. So, he is clearly well settled and shining for his new club.
