Crouch: Chelsea midfielder Havertz looks lazy like Ozil

Former England striker Peter Crouch has likened Chelsea midfielder Kai Havertz to Mesut Ozil.

The 22-year-old played all 90 minutes but struggled to make an impact as Chelsea lost to Champions League opponents Juventus last night.

In his post-match analysis for BT Sport, Crouch, 40, said: "I thought Ziyech and Havertz were very disappointing. I think Havertz reminds me of Ozil.

"He does things where it comes easy to him and he looks technically brilliant.

"But he can also look lazy and laboured at times and he can frustrate you and I thought tonight they were frustrating."
