Chelsea fans slam Kai Havertz over reaction to viral video
Mock the Blues fandom without actually mocking the Blues fandom, Chelsea fans turn on Kai Havertz over crocodile tears.
Kai Havertz, who recently completed a £62 million move to Arsenal, has found himself on the receiving end of brutal mockery from fans after his response to Mason Mount’s heartfelt goodbye video.
Mount, who is set to join Manchester United in a reported £60 million transfer, took to social media to bid farewell to Chelsea fans, with whom he has been associated since the age of six.
In his emotional video message, Mount acknowledged the speculation surrounding his future and expressed his gratitude to Chelsea supporters for their unwavering support over the past 18 years.
While many fans and players responded with heartfelt messages of appreciation, Havertz’s reply consisting of four crying face emojis left fans puzzled and provoked a wave of mocking comments.
Several supporters took to social media to question Havertz’s reaction, with one fan humorously asking, “Why you cryin’ fam?”
Another pointed out the irony, stating, “Bro you are the same,” implying that Havertz himself recently left Chelsea.
The comments continued to pour in, with one user playfully suggesting, “Lmaooo he thought he’s still a Chelsea player,” while another humorously remarked, “Bro forgot he’s one of them.”
Some fans even speculated about Havertz’s state of mind, with one quipping, “He is getting coked.”
Interestingly, some supporters saw Havertz’s response as a subtle dig at Chelsea, interpreting it as mockery rather than genuine sympathy. One user commented, “He’s just mocking Chelsea at this point,” suggesting that Havertz’s reaction was intended to taunt his former club.
This incident is not the first time Havertz has risked angering Chelsea fans on social media.
Previously, he posted a tweet alongside Mateo Kovacic, captioned “We’re ready,” which drew attention as Kovacic had recently agreed to join Manchester City, following in the footsteps of Havertz himself.
Havertz’s move to Arsenal is expected to make him the club’s highest earner, with reports suggesting a weekly salary of £330,000, which may increase further with bonuses factored in.
Arsenal fans eagerly anticipate the arrival of the German forward, with Declan Rice also rumored to be joining the Gunners soon after the club allegedly reached a compromise with West Ham over the midfielder’s transfer.
As Kai Havertz navigates the complexities of social media reactions and settles into his new club, fans will be watching closely to see how he responds to future situations and how he integrates into Arsenal’s squad.
