As per Sky Sports, the 21-year-old is eager to get his move to Stamford Bridge over the line, with the transfer fee believed to be the only hold-up to a deal being finalised.

Unsurprisingly, these ‘Gers fans on Twitter are hoping that the midfielder’s proposed move to Chelsea will go through before Steven Gerrard’s side meet Leverkusen so that they won’t have to face Havertz:

If he’s not gone by the time we play them Kai should score a few own goals to send Leverkusen a message😂
