Chelsea attacker Havertz: We now have a gigantic squad

Chelsea attacker Kai Havertz says the club's new players have failed to settle.

Havertz was speaking before last night's defeat at Arsenal, their sixth in a row under caretaker manager Frank Lampard.

He told Kicker: "We had a good spell under Graham Potter, but after the World Cup finals we didn't play well and we dropped a lot of points.

"Lots of new players came in during the winter transfer window, and we now have a gigantic squad.

"But they first need to feel comfortable at the club before they can show their qualities.

"It is easy to find excuses. I am no fan of putting all the blame on to others.

"In the end we are all professional footballers, and we just need to win a game."
