Chelsea boss Tuchel insists he's happy with Havertz form

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says he's happy with the form of Kai Havertz.

Chelsea go to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

"If we isolate the goal scoring, then yeah we expect more and he expects more, but the consistency in what he is given to the team, he has stepped up and pretty consistent," said Tuchel.

"We can see a lot of intensity in his game and physicality. He has stepped that up this season in training, when he plays.

"He relies more on his strength which body which are runs without the ball. He is focusing on this which is a good thing.

"He is in the process of being more reliable and consistent.

"He has stepped up twice in big matches, in big moments, and this can only be good for his development."
