Kai Havertz breaks silence on Arsenal transfer with emotional apology to Chelsea fans

Kai Havertz has said an emotional goodbye to Chelsea fans after his £65m move to Arsenal.

Germany forward Havertz has seen a video of him in an Arsenal shirt apparently for the announcement of his signing leaked online. That has led to Havertz taking to social media to apologise and then offer his thanks to Chelsea after three years at Stamford Bridge which included him scoring the winner in the Champions League final two years ago.

The move was officially confirmed 15 minutes after he posted his apology, which read: “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.
