Kai Havertz could be on his way to Chelsea after Bayer Leverkusen defeat

The 21-year-old could soon be on his way to Chelsea after Bayer Leverkusen were knocked out of the Europa League, as indicated by a report.

Kai Havertz scored his eighteenth goal of the season against Inter Milan on Monday, however the talented youngster’s strike was insufficient to prevent Bayer Leverkusen from going on of the Europa League at the quarter-final stage, early from Nicolo Barella and Romelu Lukaku proving the difference on the night.

Past reports had recommended that Kai Havertz would not complete his anticipated move to Chelsea until Leverkusen’s season is over, and apparently the extended transfer saga encompassing the 22-year-old could now be resolved.

Report guarantees that Kai Havertz may have played his last game in a Bayer Leverkusen shirt following their exit from the Europa League.

The report guarantees that Havertz is eager to join Chelsea and personal terms ought not to be an issue, however the Blues are yet to agree a fee with Bayer Leverkusen for the outstandingly rated attacker.

Chelsea are supposed to be confident of striking a deal for £70m in spite of Bayer Leverkusen’s £90m valuation of Kai Havertz, who has scored 45 goals in 149 appearances over all competitions for the German outfit.
