Gets bullied on the ball: Chelsea told to replace this attacker
Former Aston Villa star, Gabriel Agbonlahor, has sent a message to Chelsea about their attacker Kai Havertz.
According to Agbonlahor, the Blues need to replace Havertz with a player like Tottenham’s Harry Kane or Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.
Agbonlahor stressed that Havertz is ‘lightweight’ as he added that the Germany international gets bullied on the ball.
So far this season, Havertz has scored just six goals in 29 games across all competitions for Chelsea.
The 23-year-old German star has mainly played as a centre-forward this season for Graham Potter’s side.
But Agbonlahor has not been impressed with his display for Chelsea, saying he is more of a number 10.
“[Chelsea are] missing a ruthless striker,” Agbonlahor told talkSPORT.
“Put Harry Kane in that team, put Haaland in that team, imagine the chances they would score.
“Havertz, for me, is lightweight. He’s a big lad but gets bullied on the ball. He is not an out-and-out number nine and is more a number 10.
“But] they have got [Cristopher] Nkunku coming in the summer.”
