Dietmar Hamann says he is not surprised that Premier League clubs are keen on Kai Havertz.
Chelsea are said to be rivalling Liverpool for the attacking midfielder's signature following a stunning two seasons at Bayer Leverkusen.
Former Liverpool star Hamann says Havertz is the Bundesliga player that impresses him the most and, in a comparison Blues fans will love, compared him to Michael Ballack.
He told Soccer AM: "Obviously Jaden Sancho is one of the hottest properties but the player that stands out for me at the moment is Germany's Kai Havertz from Leverkusen.
"He's playing up top at the moment as they have a couple of injuries - a very versatile player.
"He reminds me of a young Michael Ballack, I said this months or years ago.
"He's just a brilliant player, he's so flexible, he's tall, he can hold the ball up.
"He's physical, technically he's very gifted. He's perfect.
"He knows where the goal is, as he showed in the first two games after the break.
"His best position, at the moment he plays up top, but I'd say it's a number 10 or a number eight. An attacking midfielder.
"At the moment he's got that air of arrogance about him in a nice way. He hardly ever gives the ball away.
"I'd say Kai Havertz is probably the player I like to watch the most and a player who will be on the radar of quite a few Premier League clubs."
