Bayer Leverkusen playmaker has significant demand Chelsea can fulfil says former Blues midfielder

Michael Ballack has clarified why ex-club Chelsea speak to an amazing possibility for fellow compatriot Kai Havertz, with a deal for the youngster edging nearer and nearer.

Reports recommend the 21-year-old has agreed personal terms with Chelsea after Petr Cech traveled to Germany for talks a week ago.

All that is left is for Chelsea to sort out the fee, with the Blues thought to be around £20m shy of Bayer Leverkusen’s £90m valuation.

Kai Havertz has revealed to Bayer Leverkusen he needs to leave, and Michael Ballack claims Chelsea qualifying for the Champions League has had a major impact in his choice.

He carries everything with him, but is still being developed, Michael Ballack disclosed to German outlet Sport Buzzer.

It is also significant for such a player to play in the Champions League. In this manner a change would be sensible for him.

In any case, he will also realize that the competition and desires for a major club like Chelsea are more prominent than in Bayer Leverkusen.

Kai Havertz has recently been compared to Michael Ballack himself.
