Havertz marked his return to action on Monday with a double in Leverkusen's 4-1 win over Werder Bremen.

The attacking midfielder has enjoyed a terrific season so far, and picked up immediately where he left off after the coronavirus pandemic.

He has now bagged eight goals and five assists in 23 Bundesliga games this campaign, and has been tipped to move on in the summer.

Havertz has been heavily linked with both Liverpool and United, and is believed to be open to a move to either side. Liverpool target Kai Havertz has been told to stay at Leverkusen (Image: GETTY)

But Nowotny believes the 20-year-old would be better suited staying put at Leverkusen.

He explained that Havertz would run the risk of becoming a bit-part player if he joined a big club.

The youngster is rated highly by Leverkusen, and will apparently cost upwards of £90million for any club trying to sign him.

Speaking to Goal , Nowotny urged Havertz to give it time before making the next step in his career.
