Kai Havertz shuts down Thomas Tuchel transfer swoop talk as Frank Lampard returns to Chelsea

Kai Havertz has insisted that he's happy at Chelsea, ruling out a potential move to Bayern Munich in the summer. The 23-year-old has been one of several Blues stars to be heavily linked with a move to the Bundesliga champions following Thomas Tuchel's appointment.

Reports from Germany first began to note Bayern's interest in various Chelsea players such as Havertz, Mason Mount and Edouard Mendy, before Tuchel later confirmed his desire to hire Anthony Barry.

The Blues' coach was appointed as part of Frank Lampard's backroom team in 2019 and he's believed to be the 'brains' behind much of the club's recent success with set-pieces. Nevertheless, with plenty of speculation looming of the futures of Chelsea employees, Havertz has responded to claims that he could leave.
