Marc Cucurella hailed Kai Havertz on Instagram after Chelsea’s victory over Leicester City.
Chelsea picked up another three points in the Premier League on Saturday by winning away at the King Power Stadium.
Havertz, 23, scored the pick of the goals with a delicate volley. Ben Chilwell and Mateo Kovacic netted for the visitors in the 3-1 result, too.
Graham Potter’s side have now won back-to-back league games as well as booked their spot in the Champions League quarter-final draw.
Hopefully, this is the beginning of the Blues completing a really strong final third of the season.
Havertz celebrated Chelsea’s latest success with a post on social media.
“Another step in the right direction,” he wrote on Instagram.
The £150,000-a-week attacker received some positive responses from teammates in the comment section.
Blues defender Cucurella posted a two-word response: “On fire”.
Havertz now has eight goals this season, six in the Premier League.
He’s still got some way to go to convince everyone he can be a key attacker in the Blues XI in the long term, but he’s going through a mini purple patch of form, which is great to see.
The German forward has the technical ability to score spectacular goals like today. But with his individual quality and chances this season, he should be aiming for the 20-goal mark.
We are really excited to see how he keeps progressing in the next few months, because it doesn’t look like he’s leaving Potter’s line up anytime soon. Chelsea’s head coach was very complimentary of Havertz after this weekend’s performance.
