Bayer Leverkusen boss Peter Bosz is “confident” Chelsea target Kai Havertz will be around for next month’s Europa League campaign.
Havertz has been talked about alot over the past few months, with reports suggesting that he has been the top transfer target for Frank Lampard ever since the Blues boss completed a deal for Timo Werner.
But if you believe many of the reports in the media, then he has already agreed to make the move to London, but is just waiting for the season to be officially over next month to make that move to London. Leroy Sane even let slip at his Bayern Munich unveiling that a deal had been done, but no deal has been announced by the German club or Chelsea just yet.
But should Havertz be confirmed by Chelsea, there are question marks over whether he will join immediately or link up with Frank Lampard’s squad at the end of August, But the Bundesliga side’s boss Bosz is confident he will be able to call upon Havertz when Leverkusen face Rangers in their Europa League round of 16 second leg on August 6.
Leverkusen manager Peter Bosz told BILD: “Kai Havertz will be there right at the start of the training session. “I am confident he will also be with us in the Europa League.”
If that is the case and Havertz will still be at Leverkusen until the end of August, it will not give him much time to make the move to Stamford Bridge and get used to his new surroundings before the start of next season.
Frank Lampard will want to get him to the Bridge well before that, so this will not come as good news for many fans, who want the deal to be announced right now and today. But it would be a surprise if Chelsea did not complete this deal.
