Havertz 'not Premier League class'; Chelsea must sell

Former Chelsea fullback Glen Johnson feels it's time to offload Kai Havertz.

Johnson can't see any improvement in the Germany attacker.

Speaking to DAZN Bet, he said: "I know he has had a few big moments there and won a few big trophies, but I think if it was between keeping him or [Mason] Mount, I would much rather keep Mount. Havertz is a good footballer, but I don't think he really suits the Premier League.

"Everything he does is so slow and lethargic and, although he is a very technical player, it helps when you're in the Bundesliga playing for a top team and doing everything really methodically with more time afforded on the ball.

"I also think he would bite your arm off to go back to Germany, so if Chelsea have to get rid of a marquee name this summer, I think it will be him."
