Kai Havertz reveals why he rejected Bayern Munich and joined Chelsea


Kai Havertz reveals he decided to make a move to Chelsea this summer because of the club’s vision. He is aiming to replicate Frank Lampard’s impact at Stamford Bridge. The 21-year-old moved from Bayer Leverkusen to Chelsea in a £71 million deal in September. But Bayern Munich also had a strong interest in the midfielder. "It was important to me to have a club with a vision," Havertz told Sport Bild. "An exciting change is taking place. We are a young team with many great players. We think offensively. We want to build something up here and attack. That motivates me a lot. And then it is a title with Chelsea is worth a lot more." Havertz also says the prospect of learning from Lampard was a key factor behind his decision to join Chelsea. "I was always impressed with his scoring threat," said Havertz. "I found that outstanding for a midfielder. That’s what I want to measure myself against. The fact that he was so successful and at the same time so personable impresses me."
