Chelsea playmaker Kai Havertz admits that he is now more comfortable at the club.

The German signed with a big reputation at the start of last season, but failed to deliver for much of the campaign.

Havertz did, however, find his best form towards the end of the season, and scored for the Blues in the Champions League final win over Manchester City.

Now Havertz states that he is better settled in London and in the Premier League.

"When I came to Chelsea, I already knew that I would probably need one or two years to fully adapt," Havertz told the club's website.

"It's not always just about football but, of course, how we played football here was very different to Germany, which is the style I had got used to. But it's also everything that comes with it: it's a life decision, you're making a big change. I moved to a foreign country alone with my girlfriend.

"Those are things that some people deal with better, but others might need a longer time to process everything. I might have taken a little longer. But, in the end, I knew it would take a while. And I'm not mad at myself because of that, because I think that's just being human. I also knew that better times would come again. Of course, you also doubt yourself and wonder: "Did I really get this wrong, or what's going on?" But, in the end, I knew I would also overcome that tough period.

"I just tried to stay calm and not to put myself under pressure.

"Naturally, you always want to achieve more, and you want to achieve the biggest possible success as quickly as possible. That's also why I was so happy to have scored that important goal in Porto, because it meant that my first season at Chelsea still ended well after all."
