CONFIRMED: Frank Lampard Reveals What Position Kai Havertz Will Be Playing At Chelsea
The new Chelsea signing can play different positions, even though his best position is as an attacking midfielder. Havertz can also play as a striker, a support striker and either side of midfield.No matter the position Havertz plays, two things he’d alway assure you of are his goals and assists – two things Chelsea missed badly last season.Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has admitted that he’s pleased that his new signing can play different positions.“The versatility is something we will certainly use,†Lampard told the official Chelsea website. “It is refreshing as a manager when you have a player come in who can play in different positions and also wants to play in different positions.“He has great talent on the ball, his productivity is brilliant in terms of goalscoring and assists, and physically he is great in terms of how he can get around the pitch, and talking about his size we are comparing him to Michael Ballack.“All those things come together but I emphasise we do need to give him time, but I am really excited about what he can do.â€Havertz has previously revealed that his best playing position is as a number eight. “I would say the No.8 position, inside right,†Havertz said in an interview with Marca.“I’m not a classic No.10, but I like to have the ball at my feet, simply enjoying myself on the pitch. “I’ve played in many other positions, but I prefer to play in the centre, where I have more of the ball. My dream will always be to wear the No.10 one day at my club.“There are many players that inspired me like Kaka, Zidane, Ronaldinho… They’ve always been my idols. Between the Spanish players, my favourite is Andres Iniesta. He’s outstanding on the ball. Unique. I like him the most.†profile/8257FB_IMG_16351408643359808.jpg

There Might Be MovementLampard Is Quizzed About Futures Of Rudiger&Loftus-Cheek
Frank Lampard played down the significance of Antonio Rudiger and Ruben Loftus-Cheek being left out of Chelsea’s squad against Barnsley.However, the Blues boss suggested that there are likely to be departures from Stamford Bridge before the transfer window closes.Centre-back Rudiger has been left out for recent games and the arrival of Thiago Silva, who made his debut in the 6-0 Carabao Cup win, has nudged the German further down the pecking order.And Loftus-Cheek has not featured since failing to impress in a recent outing against Brighton. Lampard said: “They’re not in the squad – that’s just a choice at the moment. With the centre-halves, I can’t have them all in the squad at the moment.“I keep getting questions about the size of the squad. Yes, there might be movement (out). We know that.“But nothing is concrete, so don’t read too much into those selections at the minute. “It (any departures) will have to be things that are right for the club, individuals and me.â€Kai Havertz stole the show, scoring a hat-trick as Chelsea cruised into the fourth round.There were also goals for Tammy Abraham, Ross Barkley and Olivier Giroud.And there was a debut too for Ben Chilwell, who came on as a substitute and crossed for Giroud to head home.I’m delighted with Kai. It was everything I wanted the night to be,†Lampard declared.
