Havertz 'wants to join Werner, Rudiger at Chelsea'

Kai Havertz is keen to complete a move to Chelsea in order to link up with Germany teammates Antonio Rudiger and Timo Werner, according to a report.

Bayer Leverkusen attacker Kai Havertz is reportedly keen to link up with German compatriots Timo Werner and Antonio Rudiger at Chelsea.

Speculation has gathered pace surrounding Havertz's future in recent days, with Chelsea supposedly in pole position to secure the 21-year-old's signature ahead of next season.

The German playmaker will supposedly cost in the region of £90m, however, potentially putting off potential buyers in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Nevertheless, The Telegraph reports that Havertz is eyeing up a move to the blue side of London in order to play alongside his international teammates Rudiger and Werner.

Werner will wear the Chelsea colours for the 2020-21 campaign after completing a move from RB Leipzig last month, while Rudiger has turned out 109 times for the Blues since arriving from Roma in 2017.

Havertz, who has also been linked with the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Bayern Munich, has registered 17 goals and nine assists for Leverkusen across all competitions this term.
