Kai Havertz is not in the Michael Ballack mould just yet, says Robert Huth, but a Champions League-winning star at Chelsea has been told that he can hit those heights if he becomes “Mr Consistent”.
Comparisons between Germany international playmakers of past and present have been drawn ever since a suitable heir to Ballack’s crown burst onto the scene at Bayer Leverkusen.
Havertz has bettered the efforts of an illustrious countryman in elite European competition, scoring the decisive goal for Chelsea in the 2021 showpiece, but he is still working on becoming the reliable source of end product that the former Leverkusen and Chelsea star once was.
Ex-Blues defender Huth, speaking in association with BonusCodeBets, told Goal: “The comparison between Kai Havertz and Michael Ballack is rife both in England and Germany!
“Michael Ballack had success with Chelsea but didn’t quite manage to get over the line with a Champions League win, which obviously Kai Havertz has done.
