Kai Havertz: 'People are still homeless and I want to help' - Chelsea midfielder on effect of German floods

Kai Havertz has packed a lot into the last 11 months since he joined Chelsea, but the recent floods in his native Germany have put it all into perspective and now he wants to help.

Leaving his homeland to join the Blues for £71m would be enough to digest for most 21-year-olds, but switching teams during a pandemic, being criticised for performances and then getting coronavirus made it a "difficult" start to English football.

Yet Havertz finished the club season with a flourish by scoring a finely-taken winner as Chelsea beat Manchester City to win the Champions League.
