Kai Havertz claims titles at Chelsea are “worth more” after his £71 million move this summer.

The Germany international has settled quickly with the Blues, though he has missed games recently after contracting coronavirus.

But a promising start for the 21-year-old, which has included four goals and three assists in 10 games across all competitions, has given the former Bayer Leverkusen star confidence about Frank Lampard’s project.

"To me, it was important to have a club with a vision," Havertz told Sport Bild. "The club is on the move. We are a young team with a lot of great players. We think aggressively.

"We want to build something here and attack. This motivates me. And then, a title with Chelsea is just worth more.

"A transfer like this doesn't happen overnight. I had enough to go through all options and things which are important to me. I was watching a lot of Premier League on TV anyhow and knew Chelsea really well."

Havertz has also revealed how compatriot Timo Werner’s arrival at Stamford Bridge has proven helpful for both players adapting from Germany’s Bundesliga to the Premier League.

"I help Timo with good passes on the pitch and, at the beginning, he helped me out with a lift to the training grounds," he added.

"Sure, we do a lot of things together. This helps a lot. But we also must go our own ways to fully settle here.

"To me, the move to England is also important step for my personal development."
