Kai Havertz Opens Up On Why He Is Leaving Chelsea

In an unforeseen turn of events, Kai Havertz has conveyed his feelings of disappointment to Chelsea and its fans following the premature leak of his Arsenal unveiling video.

The German midfielder, whose £65 million transfer was officially confirmed on Wednesday evening, took to social media earlier in the day to pen a heartfelt farewell message to Chelsea, expressing his regret over the manner in which the transfer announcement unfolded.

Havertz, whose unveiling video wearing an Arsenal kit circulated on social media prior to the official announcement, revealed his upset at the situation and expressed his desire not to cause any harm to the Chelsea supporters.

He extended his gratitude to the Blues fans for their unwavering support throughout his three-year stint at the club, which notably included a memorable triumph in the UEFA Champions League.

Taking to Instagram, the 24-year-old shared a lengthy post addressing Chelsea, stating,

“Dear Chelsea, I would have preferred for you to hear my thoughts on leaving Chelsea first from myself before my thoughts on me joining my new team. This isn’t my style and it upsets me that you had to hear of it in this way. Today, I find myself at a crossroads, where words can’t describe the emotions I’m feeling. It was an honor to be part of Chelsea history. Thank you.”

Meanwhile, Arsenal’s newest signing, Kai Havertz, has offered insight into his decision to leave Chelsea and join the Gunners, citing the high mentality within the Arsenal squad as a key factor.

The announcement of Havertz’s move to Arsenal was made official on Wednesday evening, as the Germany international signed a long-term contract with Mikel Arteta’s team.

During his first interview with Arsenal’s official website, Havertz expressed his excitement about joining the club, emphasizing its rich history and the strong mentality within the squad.

He remarked, “It’s super exciting for me to be joining this amazing club and to be part of the Arsenal family. This club has such a big history. The mentality in the Arsenal squad is very high, and you can feel that. That was one of the reasons why it has been so hard to play against Arsenal recently.”

As preparations for the upcoming season commence next month, Kai Havertz is expected to integrate with his new teammates at Arsenal during the pre-season training sessions.

The midfielder’s move to the Gunners signifies a new chapter in his career, marked by his ambition to contribute to Arsenal’s success while bidding farewell to the cherished memories he forged during his time at Chelsea.
