Kai Havertz has hailed Raheem Sterling after his positive start to life at Chelsea.

The England forward bagged a brace in Saturday's 2-1 win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

"We needed goals, he scored two goals in the end and that's the most important thing," Havertz said, via the Evening Standard.

"In the end, I think he did well and he helped us a lot today. It is very exciting [having a player like that around]. We have played four games and he has shown his quality today again.

"Sometimes it takes a bit of time to adapt 100 per cent, but he has adapted very fast and we can build on that in the future.

"We are all delighted for him. You can see in every training session how much work and effort he puts in, and he just deserves it.

"It is nice to play with him. He has lot of experience and knows how to move, and it helps you a lot if you have such experienced players next to you. His style of play suits us very well."
