Chelsea hero Ashley Cole is backing their move for Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz.

Chelsea are currently in negotiations to secure Germany international Havertz.

And former Blues defender Cole reckons signing the young midfielder would make the team even stronger.

“Frank has had a brilliant first season and added two players, and maybe Havertz as well," Cole told StatsPerformNews.

“Our attacking threat is amazing and the fans will be happy. Hopefully, they can add Havertz to make their attacking threat even more potent.

“It is a young squad, with young players who have top quality and have played in top leagues being added.

“It's good to see them at Chelsea and hopefully they can quickly integrate into the team ahead of next season."
