Kai Havertz scored his 35th Bundesliga goal after he slotted past SC Freiburg goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow over the weekend to round off an impressive team move. Still just 21, Kai Havertz overtook Bayer Leverkusen legend Bernd Schneider to become the highest-scoring Bundesliga player before the age of 21. In fact, he just needs seven more goals to enter Bayer Leverkusen's top 10 list of record goalscorers. This season has been a highly productive one for the Bundesliga starlet. Havertz has registered 15 goals and eight assists from 38 appearances across all competitions for his club over the course of the 2019-20 season.
