The Germany international has not been off and running since he made a £72 million move to Stamford Bridge last summer.
Having been tagged a ‘generational talent’ by the German media, Havertz is struggling to live up to his expectation in the Premier League.
Frank Lampard was dismissed earlier this week and one of the reasons for the Englishman’s sacking was his inability to get Havertz and other summer signings firing but Korkut, who once worked with the 21-year-old at the BayArena, believes Tuchel could find a way to unlock the potentials of the acclaimed big-money flops.
“Thomas should be good for him because of the style of play but also because of the language,” he said
“We can talk a lot about tactics but the human being is more than the tactics. Thomas can help him because he knows him very well and will know how to handle him.
“He has worked at PSG and Dortmund with players of a similar style. If you remember Lampard as a player, he was quite different from Kai.
“He was more emotional and maybe he felt that was missing in Kai. Sometimes the coach has to adapt to the player as well.”
“But I think Thomas can help him. Maybe this is the turning point. “Kai is different. Kai needs more, even if he seems really cool.
“The position is not the major issue with Kai because he can play on the right or in the middle.
“The more important thing is that he needs someone to support him at this moment when he is struggling. People are expecting big things and it is not so easy. He needs confidence.”
