Chelsea fans praised German forwards Kai Havertz after his eye-catching performance against Al-Hilal in the Club World Cup semi-final.

Havertz was in outstanding form for his team as they won by a slender 1-0 margin. The German took the lead on the left side of an onslaught that wrecked Al-Hilal's defence.

Havertz's run and subsequent cross helped striker Romelu Lukaku score the game's only goal, ensuring the Premier League club's place in the championship final against Brazilian side Palmeiras on Saturday.

Chelsea supporters will hope that Havertz maintains his excellent form in what could be a pivotal month for the club.

Havertz was regarded as one of Europe's best young talents when he joined the club in 2020 for £78 million from Bundesliga club Bayern Leverkusen.

Nonetheless, his first season with the Blues left a lot to be desired, as he came in and out of a team undergoing a transformation under Thomas Tuchel.

Last season, the Germany international scored four goals in 23 Premier League matches, and he has two goals in 16 this season. Many Chelsea fans were enthralled by his performance in the team's Champions League final last season.

The 22-year-old scored the game's sole goal as Stamford Bridge overcame Manchester City, earning him the man of the match title.

Perhaps Tuchel's difficulty in playing Havertz stems from the dilemma of whether the position best suited the player.

Havertz was frequently used as a free-roaming offensive midfielder in the Bundesliga, and his cleverness and unusual ball-handling technique earned him many accolades at Leverkusen.

The attacker scored 36 Bundesliga goals in 118 games for Bayern Munich. The buzz surrounding his most recent Chelsea appearance against Al-Hilal echoed the enthralling displays he had put in for his former club.
