German opens up and OFFICIALLY announces £82 million midfielder ‘regretting’ Chelsea transfer decision
German journalist Raimund Hinko believes that Kai Havertz regrets signing for Chelsea ahead of Bayern Munich.
Regarded as one of the finest talents in world football right now, Chelsea had to fend off the interest in Bayern Munich over the summer transfer window in order to secure a transfer deal for the brilliantly gifted young man.
However, since his move to the Premier League, Havertz has been constantly criticised for his performances and levels of consistency, with many British media outlets suggesting that he has been a waste of money so far.
And Hinko has opened up and suggested that Havertz is a player that is now regretting leaving the Bundesliga to sign with the Blues, The BILD journalist said: “Kai Havertz, even if he doesn’t say it out loud, will have already cursed a hundred times that he moved from Leverkusen to the midfield bores of Chelsea, following the lure of money.
“Everything went to pieces. No celebrating Christmas, far away from his family, trapped on the island, not even strumming a few contemplative songs on his piano.
“Instead, watching from the draughty bench against bottom-of-the-table Arsenal in a 3-1 defeat. Then substituted for the last quarter of an hour.
“A kind of mercy killing. The maximum punishment for such a great talent.
“Havertz will have kicked himself often enough for not returning Bayern’s interest more vehemently as long as coach Hansi Flick was still interested in him.”
Nobody outside the player, family and agents can say what the lad is thinking, but right now, he is probably missing life in the Bundesliga, where he was a superstar.
People are forgetting that he is a very young player that needs time to adapt, and the fact that Frank Lampard cannot pick his best team has also hindered the clubs performances.
Give him time, he will come good, but to say he is regretting that move to Chelsea is a massive call.
