Former Liverpool star Dietmar Hamann has compared Chelsea and Liverpool transfer target Kai Havertz to Germany legend Michael Ballack.
Havertz, who is valued at upwards of £80million, is expected to leave Bayer Leverkusen in the upcoming transfer window with no shortage of suitors.
“The one player who stands out for me is Kai Havertz from Leverkusen’ Hamann told Sky Sports. “He’s an exceptional player, he reminds me of a young Michael Ballack.
“He’s got that air of arrogance in a good way about him. He’s two-footed, he’s tall, he’s good in the air, he’s very versatile. He can play across the front, he can play any position. I think he’s the best player we’ve got in Germany at the moment.
“There’s talk about Timo Werner going to England, obviously he’s a different player, but Havertz is the one I’d be looking at.”
