“He looked like a penalty-box player” – Joe Cole tells Tuchel best position to play in-form Chelsea player

According to reports, Chelsea legend Joe Cole has heaped praise on Chelsea striker Kai Havertz following his performance in Chelsea’s 4-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday.

The Blues Legend believes the best position for Havertz is the no.9 position, with the Germany international playing as a false nine.

Joe Cole told BT Sport: “Chelsea just blew them out of the water, as you would expect with the quality they have on the pitch.

“Reece James, outstanding, can’t sing his praises highly enough. I think Pulisic came into the game, Mason Mount came into the game, Havertz with two goals.

“I think he’s better as a No 9, a false nine. He looked like a penalty-box player today which I feel he is. He comes alive and he’ll score many [goals].”
