Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola has some advice for German coach Thomas Tuchel regarding playmaker Kai Havertz.

The diminutive Italian was one of the most creative playmakers to grace the Premier League.

He may see similarities in the game of 21-year-old Havertz, who scored the winner for Chelsea in the Champions League final against Manchester City on Saturday.

"Nobody has ever doubted his quality, in terms of intelligence, class, technique," the Italian said to talkSPORT about Havertz.

"We thought he wasn't finding the right position on the pitch and probably not affecting the game as much as we thought he could. The other day he proved everybody wrong.

"He performed so well for the team and also this position, centre and on the right, I think it suits him and Chelsea very much."
