Mauricio Pochettino appears to have had the final say on the future of Kai Havertz at Chelsea. The 24-year-old forward has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, with the Blues expected to conduct a summer clear out.
The former Tottenham boss has been tasked with conducting a summer clear out at Stamford Bridge this summer. Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are among a handful of players who face uncertain futures in west London.
With Pochettino just as eager to bolster his frontline as he is the midfield, Havertz has also been under the magnifying glass. The Germany international, who sees his contract expire in 2025, has featured 35 times for Chelsea in the Premier League this season, directly contributing towards just eight goals.
