Chelsea star Kai Havertz does not consider himself to be a ‘king’ at Stamford Bridge despite earning a royal nickname following match-winning goals in the Champions League and Club World Cup finals.
The Germany international took a while to find his feet in English football after his £70 million ($95m) transfer from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020.
However he ended his debut campaign with the winner against Manchester City in the Champions League final and registered another decisive strike with an extra-time penalty against Palmeiras.
On being billed as ‘King Kai’ by Chelsea fans, Havertz told Sport1: “Those who know me know that I would never call myself that. Most people call me Kai. The king comes more from the press.
“You are certainly not a legend at the age of 22, but you are part of the successful history of the club, and that stays forever.”
