A THREAD! Kai Havertz finally completed his move to Chelsea last week. The Blues already have an array of attacking talents on their books, so what does the German add which they don't currently have?

Kai Havertz is at his finest in a front three, whether playing centrally or towards the right.

Similarly to Roberto Firmino, he prioritises withdrawing towards possession and receiving to feet, or drifting towards the ball while a teammate attempts to advance beyond the opposing defenders to create spaces in which Havertz can receive.

If he is preparing to attack a defender, to create space he will make a run in behind and then change direction to receive to feet.

Those movements contribute to him linking play with his teammates, and being behind the ball as it advances towards the penalty area.

It is at that point that his lengthy strides ensure that he quickly makes up the necessary ground to arrive late into the area.

He identifies spaces between the opposing defenders to move into while maintaining his momentum throughout his run and attacking the ball at speed.

That those abilities are complemented by his stature making him a good target for direct play and an aerial threat.
