“He’s a special player” – Kai Havertz praises ‘very good’ Chelsea teammate after his brace in win over Burnley

 

Chelsea forward Kai Havertz has heaped praise on teammate Reece James after the English defender's fine display in the side's 4-0 win over Burnley on Saturday.

James, 22, had been out of action with a hamstring injury since late December. He made his return in Chelsea's loss to Liverpool at the Carabao Cup Final last Sunday.

 He scored in the Blues' 4-0 thrashing of Burnley on Saturday where he impressed at right wing- back for Thomas Tuchel's side.

Havertz has praised the England international whose two goals bring his total to five goals and six assists in the ongoing Premier League season. Havertz told BBC (via Inside Futbol):

“He’s a special player for us, a very important player for us. He’s a full- back, but he also scores. He’s a great character and a very good player.”

Chelsea next play Norwich City at Stamford Bridge on Thursday, looking to build on Saturday's big win and consolidate their place in the top four.
