A lot has been made of Havertz heading to England, with ex-Premier League ace Owen Hargreaves claiming the German must join a club where he can get regular game time.
"He has got to get it right and I think that the more he plays football the better," he said.
"It is hard to go to Man City and play right away, which is what saw Jadon Sancho sold. It is hard to go to a great team like Liverpool and start.
"He is very special and he has just got to play. He can make a move at 21, 24, or 26. Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah have always been great players but would they have shown it at Liverpool at 21? It is pretty unrealistic.
"I think his development is ahead of 99 per cent of players, but I don’t think he should go to a top team yet as he might stunt his development.
"He is at a good team and the manager Peter Bosz plays to his style. If he is going to move, it has got to be the right move.
"It has to be a club which will play him all the time. I think he will have so many options. I think he is the type of player that could fit into any team.
"Mino Raiola said Juventus wanted Haaland but he would begin with the U23s. Imagine not seeing him this weekend?
"That would have almost been a crime watching him at Dortmund. The boys have to pick their next step."
