Chelsea technical adviser Cech on way to Germany for Havertz meeting

Chelsea technical adviser Petr Cech is set to jet to Germany for talks with Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz.

Cech will travel to Germany to tempt £70m Bayer ace Havertz to Stamford Bridge.

The German outfit were originally demanding an eye-watering £90m fee for the impressive forward but with only two years remaining on his contract they are resigned to losing him for less.

Sky Deutschland says Cech is set to hold "face-to-face talks" with the 21-year-old.

The Chelsea legend also helped pulled the strings of Timo Werner's deal when he made an "undercover" trip to Germany before lockdown.

Cech, who speaks fluent German, was on hand at the time to iron out any communication issues with the player's father and agent.

Chelsea star Antonio Rudiger also helped his side to seal deal but Cech may not have to do too much convincing when it comes to Havertz.

The German midfielder is said to be keen on a switch to West London despite attracting interest from the likes of Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid.
