Chelsea: £150k-a-week star was '100% Tuchel's man' at Stamford Bridge

However, with the 49-year-old now no longer at the club, Brown is interested to see how he gets on at Stamford Bridge.

With Graham Potter now at the helm, Brown is keen to see how Havertz gets on at Chelsea this season.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, the journalist said: “It’s going to be really interesting to see what happens with Kai Havertz. He was 100% a Tuchel man. Tuchel hung his hat on him, played him as the main centre-forward, gave him a lot of responsibility.”

With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang now at the club, you suspect that he will have to do much better if he wants to keep his place in the side.

There has also been some talk about Potter being really impressed with what he has seen from
