Havertz ramps up pressure on Bayer bosses to agree Chelsea fee
German football expert Christian Falk has revealed Kai Havertz is set to increase the pressure on Bayer Leverkusen to allow him to leave for Chelsea this summer.
The German star has long been linked with a move away from the Bundesliga club, and the Blues are said to be close to securing a deal.

Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller admitting already that they would allow him to leave if the right deal could be struck.
“There is nothing specific, nothing to report. As of now, he is our player,” he said earlier this month.
“We have our ideas, we know what he can do. I personally hope that he stays one more year. We have an agreement: if it works, he can go this summer.”
