Chelsea legend Frank Leboeuf ‘not convinced’ by Kai Havertz after Blues blow two-goal advantage against Southampton
Oct 19, 2020
FRANK LEBOEUF has been far from impressed with Kai Havertz's start to life at Chelsea, admitting he is unconvinced by the £72million man.
Chelsea continued their rocky start to the season with a 3-3 draw at home to Southampton which saw the Blues concede a 90th minute equaliser.
Speaking on ESPN FC after the game, Leboeuf said: "I’m not convinced about Havertz, I’m not that optimistic, I’m very pleased with Werner, he’s a real satisfaction.
"Thiago Silva should have been back because it’s crucial for Chelsea to have a real leader at the back and that’s the main problem.
"They all have to work hard physically to make sure they can play together and be stronger together."
Timo Werner's first half brace wasn't enough to see Chelsea through against the Saints, a series of individual errors cost Chelsea a valuable three points.
Kai Havertz was one of the players who cost the Blues when he lost the ball 35 yards from goal, leading to Che Adams slipping Danny Ings through on goal to make it 2-1 going into half-time.
Southampton continued to push for an equaliser and after a mix-up at the back between Kurt Zouma and Kepa, Adams fired high into the roof of the net to bring the Saints on level terms.
Chelsea would immediately respond minutes later with Werner setting up Havertz for the easiest goal he'll ever score in a Chelsea shirt.
