Dubbed the German ‘wonderkid’ by many, Kai Havertz has been the target of Chelsea FC of late. The Bayer Leverkusen star is just 21-years old and is rumoured to be worth as much as £90million! The London-based football club were hoping for some sort of deal where a ‘corona discount’ could shave off a few million, but Bayer are not having any of it and have insisted he is worth the full asking price.
Could Havertz be joining fellow German Timo Werner in a move to Stamford Bridge? Many believe so but the ‘will he, won’t he’ has been going on far too long for Bayer’s liking which is why they have ordered Chelsea to make a decision by August 28th!
August 20th saw ‘the blues’ resubmit an offer for £77million for the star and it was widely reported in the mainstream media that the two teams and Havertz were due to meet in person that day to discuss the deal. It’s also rumoured that the initial asking price has been lowered to £86m, making the current bid of £77m just £9m shy, but it’s still a lot lower than expected.
Taking to Twitter to keep his fans updated, the star wrote: “Havertz latest. Chelsea have offered 85 mill Euro. Leverkusen will accept 95 mill. Negotiations ongoing.” But not all eyes are on this deal! Former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has urged Frank Lampard to sort his defence out and has insisted that he should think about adding two new defenders to the team.
Speaking to Premier League Productions, Hasselbaink said: “I think he [Lampard] will address the back four. I think if you’re going to play Jorginho you need to do something about your defence. He can’t defend like N’Golo Kante can but he’s very good on the ball. You need players who can defend one against one. In a central area they need to improve. I definitely think when Kante doesn’t play they lose those legs in the middle of the park. He might look at something there.”
