Football London reports that the one thing Kai Havert and Ronaldinho have in common is rising up to the big occasions. Havertz's biggest goal in his career to date remains the goal he scored against Manchester City last year that handed Chelsea the Champions League.

He was also at hand to score the winning goal against Palmeiras earlier this year in the FIFA Club World Cup. The German has been instrumental in Thomas Tuchel's side. He has often been given starting berths ahead of the beleaguered Romelu Lukaku who has since returned to Inter Milan.

Kai Havertz spotted enjoying the wild Safari in Africa

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Chelsea ace Kai Havertz joined the long list of football players travelling to Africa for the summer as he was spotted on a wild safari on Saturday, June 18.

The German attacker shared interesting snaps of himself while on a tour in South Africa, enjoying the African sun and wildlife. If his caption is anything to go by, Havertz has been in South Africa for a little over a week, and he seems to be loving every minute of it.

It is just as well that Havertz is relaxing on holiday, as he was very busy for Chelsea last season as the Blues finished third in the Premier League. Havertz was preferred up front by Thomas Tuchel, who seemed to prefer the false-9 setup for his side, at the expense of want-away star Romelu Lukaku.
