Kai Havertz and Mason Mount have taken the next step in their blossoming friendship, with the former following the latter's lead. Since swapping BayArena for Stamford Bridge in 2020, the former Bayer Leverkusen forward has enjoyed a fruitful relationship on the pitch with the Cobham graduate.
The duo have shared the stage 71 times, directly contributing towards five goals for one another - one of which, notoriously, came in the Champions League final. Mount and Havertz's impressive displays together have guided Chelsea to two European titles and the Club World Cup.
They have grown into good friends off the pitch too, with either of them often rubbing shoulders with each other. But, their 'bro code' seems to have reached new heights, with Havertz copying Mount's haircut.

Following one of Ben Chilwell's maiden training sessions with the first team having been out with an injury, the Blues left-back snapped a photo of Mount and Havertz in the gym at Cobham proudly sitting next to each other and showing off their similar haircuts. Chilwell captioned the picture 'Twinsssss' with a crying with laughter and blue heart emojis.
Mount and Havertz first met on the pitch in 2015 as opponents in an under-17 match between England and Germany. The former, who found the net from range with an incredible effort after slaloming past his Chelsea teammate, recalled their meeting when speaking on England's YouTube channel.
“It was my first game on TV, playing against Germany, so it was a massive game for us at Rotherham's stadium,” Mount said. “I can't remember the final score, but I did score a goal in the game and that's what I remember - it wasn't too bad a goal.
“Kai Havertz, my team-mate at the moment, is actually in the video. Not many people know this, but he is the one that grabs my face. I've spoken to him about it at training and we had a good laugh about it.
“He actually remembered it as well. It was funny. Now he's going to get exposed now, so everyone is going to know. But great memories to score for your country.”
