The Chelsea attacker has been hailed for his intelligent style of play by his compatriot ahead of the final group game at Euro 2020
Kai Havertz has been compared to Real Madrid and France legend Zinedine Zidane by Lothar Matthaus, who has highlighted the Germany star's "good positional play" and "fine technique".
Havertz was named in Joachim Low's final 26-man squad for the European Championship after an impressive debut season at Chelsea that saw him overcome some early struggles to fire the club to Champions League glory.
The 22-year-old starred in both of Germany's first two group games against France and Portugal, grabbing a decisive goal in a 4-2 victory over the latter, and Matthaus has now drawn similarities between the playmaker and Ballon d'Or winner Zidane.
