Chelsea's new signing, Kai Havertz, had a shaky start on his debut during a 3-1 win over Brighton on Monday night.
Haverts, who was bought from Bayer Leverkusen for a club-record fee [£71 million], touched the ball on 35 occasions and had 0 shot on target.Speaking after the match, the 21-year-old Germany international -- subbed on the the 80th minute and replaced by Callum Hudson-Odoi -- admitted the Premier League might be tougher than the Bundesliga.
"The Premier League is much tougher than the Bundesliga. I have seen that in training and saw it in the game as well. But I am happy to play 80 minutes and hopefully next week I will continue," he said.
While Havertz had a sluggish debut for the London club, his countryman, Timo Werner, caused all sort of problems for Brighton defence with his electric pace. Chelsea's first goal came through a penalty which was slotted by Jorginho after he was fouled in the box.
Chelsea's next game is against defending champions, Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. The Merseyside club survived a scare in their 4-3 win over newly promoted Leeds United at Anfield.
