Adapting to a new surrounding is often never an easy task especially for a young player and Havertz is going to need time in order to acclimatize himself with the new environment.
Chelsea are expected to give Havertz time so as to settle and will hope other players can kick in with good performances as the 21-year-old tries to find his feet at the Blues.
Havertz said
“It was a very tough game, very difficult because I had long holidays and I came back and trained for five or six days with the team,” Havertz said in the Evening Standard after taking in 80 minutes of a 3-1 win over Brighton.

“Of course they are one of the best teams in the world. We show respect but we are a very great team as well.
“It will be a very hard game but for them also. We will work hard and I think we will have a chance to take points.”
As Havertz struggled in debut, fellow countryman and a new signing also by Chelsea, Timo Werner, caught the eye with a top performance that saw him win the blues a first-half penalty.
Werner said
“I am happy to be here. I think it was a good first game for me and the team.
“We can do much better than we did. In the end we won the game. Lots of players did not play a game this season so we are not as strong as we could be.
“Kai played his first game. We had a lot of players who are not in the rhythm now, but I think we will become better and better as we play more games. We have a very big team and can do very well.”
