The German revolution continues at Chelsea, with Kai Havertz becoming an increasingly influential player under his head coach and countryman Thomas Tuchel.

After taking time to adapt to the Premier League, a move up front has helped the 21-year-old to shine, and he starred in Saturday's victory over Fulham, scoring both of his side's goals.

Inaugural Premier League Hall of Fame inductee Alan Shearer is pleased to see Havertz now showcasing his ability, and has named him in his Team of the Week.
