Kai Havertz hails 'another step forward' and says Chelsea's expensive new signings ARE 'getting that chemistry with one another' despite 1-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League last-16

Chelsea forward Kai Havertz said he was encouraged by the way the club's new signings are gelling with the team despite the side recording only one win in 2023.

Chelsea, who were beaten 1-0 by Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Wednesday, spent more than £320million to bring in eight players in January but did not sign a proven striker.

With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left out of their Champions League squad, on-loan forward Joao Felix hit the woodwork as Chelsea registered 21 shots against Dortmund, including eight on target, in the first leg of their last-16 tie.
