One of the biggest surprises of the summer transfer window has seen a key Chelsea player, Kai Havertz, leaving for another Premier League side in Arsenal. It was not one many anticipated seeing couple of months ago. However, after the season came to a conclusion, the German was being rumoured with a move to different clubs, including Spanish giants Real Madrid. In the end, Arsenal won the race to acquire his services.
Known for his versatility, Kai Havertz can play anywhere in the attacking positions. He can even operate as the leading frontman or a ‘false nine’ in the team’s starting lineup. Havertz’s ability to properly link-up with his attacking teammates and score good amount of goals has seen him start as the frontman in several games.
With his move to another London club in Arsenal being finalised, Kai Havertz has penned an emotional note to Chelsea supporters. Starting the letter with the words “Dear Chelsea,” he continued, “I would have preferred for you to hear my thoughts on leaving Chelsea first from myself before my thoughts on me joining my new team. This isn’t my style and it upsets me that you had to hear of it in this way.”
“Today, I find myself at a crossroads, where words can’t describe the emotions I’m feeling. It is with a heavy heart that I write this letter, saying goodbye to the club that has become my second home, and to the incredible fans who have supported me throughout this amazing journey. Together, we have experienced the highs and lows, the joys and heartaches.”
Havertz then went on to thank his Chelsea teammates and fans for the support they offered him during the course of his time with the Blues which has seen both highs and lows. “Today I want to thank each and every Chelsea supporter, member of staff, coaches and my team mates for the last years. Joining Chelsea 3 years ago was a big moment in my life and I’m looking back on these years with nothing but pride, gratefulness and loads of sporting success,” he stated.
One of the highlights of Havertz’s Chelsea career was scoring the winner in the 2021 Champions League final against Manchester City. Looking back at the trophies he won at Stamford Bridge, Havertz added, “From winning the Champions League in my first season to winning the Super Cup and the Club World Cup and now saying goodbye has been quite a journey that I will never forget.”
“Every second of my time at Chelsea I identified with what it means to represent the club on and off the pitch and I hope that everyone remembers me for this. I’m looking back at memories that last a lifetime. The club will be forever in my heart and I made friends for life. It was an honour to be part of Chelsea history,” he signed off.
