Asked about Havertz's qualities, teammate Julian Brandt said the midfielder is extremely calm with the ball at his feet despite being just 19 years old.
"I really like the way he plays. I haven't see anyone so calm with the ball ever. He has a resting heart rate of 60," Brandt told Bild.
"Of course, you have to be careful now that Kai will keep his feet on the ground," he added with a wink.
Havertz himself says he is well aware that he still has a lot to improve.
"I know that I'm the youngest player. I still have much to improve, and I want bring more mentality. We have to look ahead and keep pushing forward," he said.
Havertz made his debut for Germany earlier this month. In total, he has made 69 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen with 11 goals and 15 assists to his name.
