Havertz has been described as a technically gifted, two-footed attacking midfielder who possesses refined control and passing skills. During his formative years, his style of play drew comparisons to compatriot Mesut Özil, with Havertz himself stating that Özil was a player he looked up to. By the age of 19, following numerous impressive performances in the Bundesliga, further comparisons had been drawn between Havertz and former Leverkusen players such as Michael Ballack and Toni Kroos, with some describing him as a combination of all three and an Alleskönner – a player capable of doing everything. Ralf Rangnick praising his positional fluidity, technical versatility as a "nine-and-a-half," and spatial awareness, likened Havertz to Johan Cruyff. Havertz has also been compared to Thomas Müller, as both players have a knack for finding space in congested areas and making intelligent attacking runs, though Havertz has been described as the more elegant and skillful player. Havertz prefers the false nine role, which he played primarily at Chelsea. After his move to Arsenal, Havertz was initially deployed as a left-sided mezzala, but was increasingly utilized as a striker due to his link-up play, pressing ability, and aerial presence.
