Kai Havertz was one of Chelsea's brand-new signings last summer. The young footballer was on his way to leave Bayer Leverkusen, which was already a little small. Then the rumor mill surrounding his fate broke out. Yes, It seems that there were only two clubs with the capacity to take over their services: Chelsea itself and Real Madrid. Said and done, the German landed at Stamford Bridge for about 80 million euros.
Now, he has been the one who has been in charge of clarifying why he chose London to continue his professional career. Asked by Madrid, he said the following: “For me one important thing was to choose a club with vision. We are a young team with many great players. We all think ambitiously and want to build something together. That is a motivation for me. And then a title with Chelsea is worth more“.
This last sentence from the German international is a clear sign that he wanted to carve out a career in which he could lead a top team and take them to the top, rather than having to deal with competition from Real Madrid. He kept explaining: “A transfer like mine is not something that happens overnight. I had to think about all the options and what is important to me. Even so, I watched the Premier a lot on television and knew Chelsea very well. “
In this way, Havertz already assumes gallons in the English club. At the moment, the figures do not reveal its impact on the game, which is total. At 21, however, he can boast of having scored an EFL Cup hat-trick in his only match. In Champions, he has already signed an assist. In the Premier, a goal and two given to his teammates are his endorsement. With the definitive folder to Real Madrid, now the young talent will seek to take Chelsea to the top. That's what it came for.
