Havertz is worth the hype, according to new Leverkusen team-mate Sinkgraven

The new signing has been wowed by the wonderkid's goalscoring ability in training, and is looking forward to seeing it in the Bundesliga

Lothar Matthaus rates Kai Havertz as a potential Ballon d'Or winner and the excitement surrounding the midfielder is entirely justified, according to Bayern Leverkusen team-mate Daley Sinkgraven.

Bayern Munich, Liverpool and a number of other top European sides have been linked to Havertz since he struck 17 goals during an exceptional 2018-19 Bundesliga campaign.

His list of admirers includes former Germany captain Matthaus , who on Monday tipped the 20-year-old to eventually join a "very big club," and new Leverkusen signing Sinkgraven.
