As the London club, Chelsea prepares to welcome Malmo – the Swedish most successful club in terms of trophies, Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has admitted the struggles of Kai Havertz in the club.

Despite his consistent in Tuchel’s Squad Havertz has only managed to secure a goal and an assist in all competitions, however, Tuchels says for him Havertz to make way back into the team he has to do a lot.
“Yeah, that’s a fact, and he does everything to reach this level again and we do everything to help him,” said Tuchel at a press conference on Tuesday. “He’s an important player for our squad.
“He had many games to start with, he started strong, he was very strong in pre-season. The story has not changed, but he lacks the statistics of decisive things, of goals, and assists.
He encouraged the former Bayer Leverkusen player to keep his consistency in the training as he is assured minutes when he becomes fit.
“He’s in a good shape, he’s in a good mental state, he knows what he’s fighting for and that’s the situation right now.
Although Havertz has undoubtedly shown his brilliance in flashes of form for Chelsea, it’s probably fair to say that he hasn’t quite become the player they thought they were signing back in 2019.

In his first season at the club, Havertz bagged a respectable nine goals and nine assists but that was over the course of 45 games. And so far this season he’s only managed to pick up a solitary goal and assist in 10 games.
In his last season at Leverkusen, Havertz was averaging 0.61 goals and assists per 90 but that figure then dropped to 0.52 in his first season at Chelsea and now stands at just 0.3 for the club this season.
Kai Havertz at Bayer Leverkusen was another animal of a human being if that’s okay to describe a wonder kid who at 17 years of age was putting himself to the world in the most but unique way of goals and assists.
He developed a reputation real quick for his astonishing technique, flawless ability to use both feet, superb reading of the game, strength in the air, and overall confidence to take numbers in the Bundesliga.
