Kai Havertz transfer news: Leverkusen star to put in transfer request to push Chelsea move

Bayer Leverkusen superstar Kai Havertz will reportedly hand in his transfer request in order to join Premier League giants Chelsea in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Kai Havertz to Chelsea rumours sparked to life last month when the 21-year-old hit like on an 'Announce Havertz' post on Twitter only hours after the Blues signed German forward Timo Werner from RB Leipzig. However, it now seems that the German star will be taking the Havertz to Chelsea rumours to a next level by making a plea to Bayer Leverkusen in order to leave the Bundesliga outfit this summer.
