Reports | Premier League’s top six eyeing Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz
Kai Havertz might finally be on his way to England, with the Premier League’s big six after the 20-year-old. Rightfully labelled as one of Europe’s hottest prospects, the German international had a stunning breakout season for Bayer Leverkusen last season finishing with 20 goals in all competitions.
Kai Havertz is arguably one of the brightest prospects in the World, let alone in Germany and it does look like England has finally taken notice of the 20-year-old. The Mirror has reported that five of the Premier League’s top six are interested in a move with Tottenham also reportedly scouting the midfielder last season.
The report further adds that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are also in the race, although Barcelona does hold some kind of advantage. It seems that Havertz is a fan of the Camp Nou side but a move there might be on hold if the Catalan giants complete a move for Neymar.
It would put a ÂŁ91 million move for the German playmaker on hold, thanks to financial fair play rules. Furthermore, the Metro has added that Bayern Munich are very keen on a move if they do not manage to complete a permanent move for Philippe Coutinho next summer. But the financial power that the English sides do hold could play a big part especially with Manchester United and Manchester City both eyeing the 20-year-old.
