Kai Havertz believes supporters unfairly expected him to be 'the new Cristiano Ronaldo' after joining Chelsea last summer.

The 22-year-old joined the Blues from Bayer Leverkusen in an £89million deal in September but scored just one goal in his first 23 Premier League appearances.

Ronaldo also moved to the Premier League early on in his career, signing for Manchester United in 2003 aged 18.
