Kai Havertz has explained his decision to join Chelsea in the summer transfer window, insisting “it was important to have a club with a vision”.
Havertz emerged as one of the most sought-after talents in Europe following a superb 2019-20 campaign at Bayer Leverkusen.
The 21-year-old helped Leverkusen finish fifth in the Bundesliga and reach the DFB-Pokal final, as well as the Europa League quarter-finals, scoring 18 goals in 45 appearances in all competitions.
The Germany international has now revealed why he chose to continue his development at Chelsea amid interest from a number of other top clubs, telling Sport Bild: “To me, it was important to have a club with a vision.
“The club is on the move. We are a young team with a lot of great players. We think aggressively.
“We want to build something here and attack. This motivates me. And then, a title with Chelsea is just worth more.
“A transfer like this doesn’t happen overnight. I had to go through all options and things which are important to me. I was watching a lot of Premier League on TV anyhow and knew Chelsea really well.”
