Kai Havertz has been suggested to be a better option in the Chelsea's attack ahead of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Blues are yet to have a proper center forward who will deliver the goals since Didier Drogba retired.
Although, Chelsea have spent a lot of money with signing of Romelu Lukaku back from Inter Milan but the player doesn't seem to fit into the structure of ex manager Thomas Tuchel.
Right now, Chelsea have been playing Germany forward, Havertz in that position and Joe Cole believes that the 24-year-old will do a better job.
Joe Cole, a former star at Chelsea, believes that the Blues should stick with Kai Havertz in the front line while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang takes on a more supporting role on the bench.
Havertz started in place of Aubameyang and scored in Chelsea's 2-0 victory over Bournemouth on Tuesday night in their first game back after the World Cup.
Cole believes that he has established himself in the lineup after he also set Mason Mount up for the second goal.
Speaking after the game on Amazon Prime, Cole said: ‘(Havertz) He’s a good guy. We want him to be more mean. He was excellent tonight, goal and an assist.
‘I thought it was a really bold decision from Graham Potter when you’ve got Aubameyang on the bench.
He’s gone with Havertz and I think that’s the way forward for Chelsea. Good goal for Chelsea.’
On the other hand, Aubameyang had been struggling to get back to his best since he arrived at Stamford Bridge.
The Ex Arsenal forward joined the London rival from Barcelona at the start of the season on deadline day.
Aubameyang who is known for his goals prowess has, struggled to live up to expectation.
It's been reported that Graham Potter will be looking for another striker in the January window to boost his attack.
