At the age of 20 years, Kai Havertz has established himself as one of the most talented individuals in the European game.
The wonderful displays and consistency that the young midfielder has exhibited has caught the attention of some of the big clubs in Europe who will be eager to sign the young German in the summer transfer window.
With such performances his coach Daum has likened the German to the French icon.
“Everyone is asking about Kai Havertz,” the 33-year-old coach told talkSPORT.com: “If you see him play, it tells you everything.
“For me, he has the elegance of Zidane. If you see his movement, he’s very elegant, he’s always calm, he has great passing ability.
“What a lot of people don’t see, because we have the data and watch him every day, is that he’s pretty fast. That’s a big bonus.
“He’s a great player; he’s scoring goals, he’s great in the air, and he’s pretty fast. It’s up to him how far he can go.
“I can’t say he will be the best German player ever, but he has the talent and there are no limits. He’s displaying signs of Zidane.”
Reports suggest that some big clubs have readied a bid in an attempt to lure the Leverkusen star from his current club but his coach has warned that the sale of the youngster would be very expensive for any interested party.
He added: “The situation with coronavirus is so strange and so complicated that it’s still open that he will leave us.
“I don’t know what will happen, but at Bayer he has the right place to develop his strengths and improve.
“The only thing I know is that Bayer won’t sell him for a cheap fee.”
