'I like his maturity' - Former Chelsea defender Leboeuf urges Blues to move for Havertz ahead of Coutinho

Kai Havertz is the player Chelsea should be targeting this summer and not Philippe Coutinho, according to ex-Blues defender Frank Leboeuf.

With the Bundesliga having taken centre stage over the last fortnight as the only major European league to have started following the coronavirus crisis, Havertz has played a starring role for his Bayer Leverkusen side, scoring three times in two outings.

The young Germany international was on target twice on Saturday as Bayer won 3-1 away at Borussia Monchengladbach, and his performance only heightened rumours that he is on the radar of both Chelsea and Manchester United.
