According to British media reports, Joe Cole said on The Dressing Room podcast that Havertz could be the best false nine player in world football.
Joe Cole praised Havertz's performance against Chelsea, saying that the German player has long been underestimated by the outside world. He said: "He is simply incredible in that position, yet we always underestimate him. If we made a great highlight reel for him, just those touches, dropping back to link play, and that dummy for Odegaard alone would be enough to make a 15-minute video. As a striker, as a false nine, who in world football is better suited to this role than him?"
Former Arsenal star Ljungberg also believed that Havertz was the best player on the pitch. He said that Havertz's link-up play, forward runs, and unselfish performances were all outstanding.
