Denis Zakaria, a new Chelsea midfielder who has played against Kai Havertz, has acknowledged Havertz’s talent.
Zakaria, 25, moved to the Blues from Juventus on the final day of the summer transfer window for a loan of one season.
He’s been brought in to give the Blues more alternatives in the middle of the field, but he won’t be making his debut until the Premier League encounter against West Ham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
On a side note, the starting lineup that will play today against rivals West Ham has been predicted by The Chelsea Chronicle.
Denis Zakaria, Chelsea’s Newest Signing
Havertz was lauded by Zakaria.
Surprisingly, after meeting Chelsea attacker Havertz, 23 years old, Zakaria praised his skills.
Both players formerly competed in the German Bundesliga, but they will now be able to relax in the same locker room.
In the Bundesliga, I squared up against Kai Havertz. Superb athlete,” Zakaria gushed.
That’s a testament to Havertz’s talent in Germany.
The left-footed forward’s incredible performances for Bayer Leverkusen made him one of the sport’s most promising young players and led to his transfer to Chelsea a few years ago.
The goal he scored that sealed the Champions League for Chelsea is only one of many memories he’ll cherish forever.
While Havertz exploded on the Bundesliga scene, English fans have yet to witness such brilliance.
Havertz should take notice of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s transfer to Chelsea on the same day.
After starting all five Premier League games so far this season, he needs to get better if he wants to keep playing in the top lineup for the Blues.
