Kai Havertz prized Bayer Leverkusen star

Kai Havertz has failed to live up to expectations after his incredible performance last season. Last season in all competitions he scored twenty goals and assisted another seven. So far this season his form has not been up to par, but his skill is undeniable. Despite being one of the most talented youngsters in the game, the pressure mounted may have taken a toll.

Attributes of Kai Havertz

The clearest skill that is evident in Havertz is his anticipation and ability to create goalscoring opportunities for his team. His passing and vision are specifically highlighted. He compares his style to Toni Kroos a fellow German in Real Madrid. Havertz key attributes are comparable to Mesut Ozil with as stated before, passing and vision for his team’s play.

Decline in performance

Praise was illustrious for the twenty-year-old. His contribution last season led to Champions League qualification. The Bundesliga side was knocked out from the Champions League and are in the Europa League. Their Bundesliga performances have continued and are 5th place in the league, only two points away from qualification.

A key figure in securing qualification, Kai Havertz started off the season poorly. With performances that were unrecognizable from a Havertz who performed far better last season. Scoring seven goals and three assists this season he has recently begun to recover. The quiet and reserved twenty-year-old will continue to recover his form and continue what he had done last season.

Transfer Interest in the Summer

With a bright future ahead of him in his career, Leverkusen will not be able to hold him in the future. The club seemingly has accepted that, but encourage him to stay another year. Arguing he can develop further with his consistent position in the first team. Interest still remains for Havertz with clubs such as Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United.

The club has a strong position when it comes to negotiating a potential transfer fee. Considering that his contract has yet to expire until 2022. Leverkusen’s sporting director has said that the club is looking to evaluate Havertz and his value.

Liverpool has shown interest in the attacking midfielder, looking to strengthen the side further. Havertz could have a hard time finding minutes against one of the most highly rate forward three. Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mané. Manchester United have also shown potential interest with the superclub in the process of a rebuild. Another young key star in Kai Havertz could help Manchester United. Especially considering that Manchester United, despite Bruno Fernandes’s arrival will desire a further strengthen in the midfield. Fellow Bundesliga star Jadon Sancho has also been shown interest with these two young stars spurring interest from the Premier League.

Another big club with interest is closer to home, Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich. He has even said on record regarding what he thinks of a potential move to Bayern Munich.

‘If you want to be a star in Germany, you can’t go wrong with Bayern’

If the young twenty-year-old continues to work hard to recover back to his top form, we may see a future world-class player.
