According to reports, Dutch third-tier club Hercales Almelo have jokingly announced the signing of Chelsea transfer target Kai Havertz.
The publicity stunt was pulled off by Hercales on Twitter, showing a picture of the Bayer Leverkusen star in their shirt.
Heracles pulled off the bizarre stunt after Bayer Leverkusen head coach Peter Bosz jokingly said that Kai Havertz’s next game will be for Heracles.
“Yes, I can exclusively announce he’ll play for [Dutch outfit] Heracles Almelo,” Bosz, who previously coached Heracles in two separated spells, said.
The joke is too expensive! Kai Havertz will soon be a Blue.
Welkom Kai 👀
