Philippe Coutinho’s future is unlikely to be at either parent club Barcelona or loan club Bayern Munich next season.
Premier League side Chelsea are one of the favorites for the Brazilian’s signature.
However former player Frank Leboeuf wants his old side to forget about the troubled playmaker and turn to a much more in form prospect.
Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz is in phenomenal form and attracting interest from several of Europe’s elite.
The retired French World Cup winner wants the Stamford Bridge outfit to go after the 20-year-old German instead.

Speaking to ESPN FC he said:
“I like Havertz maturity on the field, he looks like someone who is 30 and knows exactly what he has to do and when he has to do it.”
“He’s the master orchestrator of that team and I talked about him last week and I said that’s a player that I would hire for sure.”
“He should be in the Premier League very soon. He should be because he’s a very, very talented player.”
“When we were talking Chelsea about Coutinho.”
“I would have lots of question marks seeing him coming to Chelsea, to bring what?”
“I don’t know where his place would be. If I was the chairman, if I was the coach, I would be very hesitant to pick him up.”
