Kai Havertz

Havertz sits equal-first alongside Romelu Lukaku as top scorer for Chelsea with 12 goals in all competitions. The German midfielder has also made three assists to go along with his 12 goals.

The German has proven to be far more consistent than mount in terms of performing in various competitions. The 22-year-old has scored six of his 12 goals in the Premier League, with the rest spread across other competitions.

This season, Havertz has scored goals at a very similar rate to Maddison. He has scored a goal on average every 210 minutes, just nine minutes more than Maddison’s average.

The former-Bayer Leverkusen midfielder has been finishing his opportunities at a similar rate to Maddison as well with an efficiency of 21 percent. The two players have been similar in terms of the amount of goals they’ve scored, but the Leicester City midfielder has provided far more opportunities for teammates than the former Bayer Leverkusen man.

In 37 appearances this season, the 22-year-old has provided just five assists and has created far fewer chances than anyone else on this list. The German international has created just 29 chances this season at 0.81 per 90.
