Rio Ferdinand, a former Manchester United defender, has praised Chelsea forward Kai Havertz for his recent performances. 

Thomas Tuchel's side has won five games in a row in all competitions thanks to the German. In his last four outings for the Blues, Havertz has scored four goals and added an assist. 

In the summer of 2020, Havertz moved to Chelsea from Bayer Leverkusen for £72 million. He struggled in his first season, scoring nine goals in 45 appearances. Havertz, on the other hand, has improved by leaps and bounds this season. Manager Thomas Tuchel recently moved him to the position of no. 9 and he has thrived in it. The 22-year-old has taken over as the club's first-choice striker from Romelu Lukaku. Havertz's style of play has been compared to those of former United strikers Robin Van Persie and Dimitar Berbatov by Ferdinand. Last Saturday, the German scored the game-winning goal in Chelsea's 1-0 league victory over Newcastle United: "When you witness goals like that, the streets come alive. It has a Berbatov, Robin van Persie feel to it, with velcro vibes on the edge of his toe and a beautiful finish. I enjoy watching him perform "According to The Express, Ferdinand said BT Sport. In 383 Premier League appearances for Manchester United and Arsenal, Robin Van Persie scored 190 goals. Dimitar Berbatov scored 122 goals for Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Fulham in 305 league games.
