Bayer Leverkusen have confirmed that Kai Havertz has left
the Germany team’s training camp, to complete his £90million move to Chelsea.
Havertz has been linked with the Blues for months and the
deal is expected to be confirmed imminently.
The 21-year-old was an unused substitute, as his country was
held to a 1-1 draw by Spain on Thursday night.
He has now left for London, where he will wrap up his transfer to the Premier League.
Leverkusen’s sporting director, Rudi Voller, told the club’s
website: “I exchanged ideas with [German FA chief] Oliver Bierhoff and Joachim
Low over the past few days.”
He said he appreciated “the DFB’s understanding of the
special situation of the player and also for us as a club. We are grateful to
the national coach that Kai can now sort things out with our support on site in
London.”
It is understood both Chelsea and Leverkusen expected him to
be left on the bench for the Germans against Spain to avoid the risk of injury
as the two parties ensure the massive transfer goes ahead.
