Former Arsenal star and pundit Paul Merson has called on Kai Havertz to become a regular feature for Chelsea.

The German attacker has been in and out of the team recently, but started the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.

Havertz was not able to score for his side, with the game ending 0-0 and Liverpool winning on penalties.

However, Merson was impressed with the forward as he led the line in the game, alongside Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount.

Writing in his Sky Sports column, Merson said: "Havertz has always got to play. Havertz is one of Chelsea's best players. People forget he is class. He knits things together. He's a Rolls Royce, he glides round the pitch.

"He doesn't do the hustle and bustle, winning 50/50 tackles and all the kind of stuff. People think he's a bit lazy, but he's a Rolls Royce. Different class, and he always has to play."
