'I can be free': Kai Havertz explains what he enjoys the most from his new Chelsea role

Speaking to the club's official media, Kai Havertz said: "With the system we are playing at the moment, it's very fluid.

"It means I can be free, especially offensively, and I can find spaces to play from. I like this position, it is quite a free role and I'm allowed to come deeper.

"Having said that, I also like to play as a number nine so having those options is good. Whatever the manager wants me to do for the team, I'm happy."

Chelsea managers Frank Lampard, Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter have tried and tried but Havertz's best position on the pitch remains a mystery.

The German's new role in a fluid front-three seems to be working with the forward playing a key role in the Blues' recent improvement in form.
