Thomas Tuchel has been warned over his use of Kai Havertz at Chelsea despite the German star’s Champions League heroics.
Havertz took a little while to get going in a Blues shirt after his £72million transfer from Bayer Leverkusen last summer, but he has impressed in the second half of the campaign.
Tuchel, however, often used Havertz in the striker role after arriving at Stamford Bridge in January, despite arriving at the club as an attacking midfielder, the role from which he scored the winner in the Champions League final.
And as Havertz prepares to help Germany in their Euro 2020 bid this summer, former Die Mannschaft frontman Klaus Fischer has claimed the 22-year-old is not comfortable playing out of position with the Blues.
He told Goal: “I saw him in the Champions League final against Manchester City and he played brilliantly.
“He is a young player who has a great left foot, but he’s not a real centre-forward, that’s clear to see.
“He certainly doesn’t feel comfortable there, but he’s a huge talent, he plays in one of the best teams in the world at Chelsea and he will continue to develop.”
