German midfielder Kai Havertz is one of the most sought-after attacking midfielders in the world currently, thanks to his phenomenal performances for Bayer Leverkusen. The 20-year-old, who has already made 7 senior appearances for the Germany national side, is a versatile player who can make teams tick and also chip in with goals and assists.
Havertz has come through the ranks at Leverkusen and far exceeded expectations last season when he scored 20 goals.
It seems that the German is destined to join a Premier League side in the near future.
3 clubs in the Premier League where we feel Kai Havertz will be a good fit.
Liverpool
The Premier League leaders have stormed to the top of the table and it seems that no one can stop them this season. While the attack and defence of Jurgen Klopp’s side have got praise from all quarters, the midfield’s contribution in their success has been under-appreciated.
Liverpool have depth in their midfield, with the likes of Georginio Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, as well as veteran midfielder James Milner all in their ranks.
But, the addition of an exciting, creative midfielder like Havertz would take this Liverpool side to the next level. Havertz offers more of an attacking threat than any of Liverpool’s current midfielders, while also adding quality depth to the squad.
Manchester United
Manchester United have been crying out for a No. 10, a player who can link midfield and attack, which is exactly what Havertz can do. The player offers a lot on the football pitch and is an all-round operator who can add great quality to this young United team. Havertz can play as a No. 10 or even as a central midfielder or right midfielder and this versatility makes him a quality addition to any team.
The German’s passing and movement can help United unlock stubborn defences, which has been a problem for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team this season.
Manchester City
Manchester City will lose a vital member of their squad at the end of the season as David Silva has revealed that he will be leaving the club. The Spaniard has been instrumental in City’s Premier League title wins, and it will be a hard task to replace him.
While many believe that Phil Foden could be the one to take Silva’s spot in the team, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will have to add a creative midfielder to add depth to his squad. Guardiola needs to freshen the midfield and add young players to complete the core that can challenge Liverpool at the top and keep resurgent teams like Chelsea at bay.
Kai Havertz could be the heir to Silva’s midfield throne as he has everything that a manager like Guardiola requires in his team.
