19-year-old Havertz has been compared to the Arsenal star, and he admits that he has been inspired by the 30-year-old.
"It's safe to say that I copied a lot from him. I just like how he plays. I don't exactly know yet how my role in the national team is perceived. There's still a lot of time, and you don't know where the whole thing is going to go," Havertz told Sport1 and went on:
"He has done a lot for German football. That's why you can say that he has been a bit of a role model for me."
Havertz has made 11 appearances for Leverkusen this season with four goals and three goals to his name.
