Kai Havertz has welcomed Raheem Sterling to Chelsea.

Havertz is excited to link up with former Manchester City star Sterling, a player he has admired from afar.

“We all know that he is a great player," he said. “I saw a stat about him that he has had the most goals and assists for Man City in the last five years or something like that. That tells the whole story of him.

“He was a great player for City and the national team as well, hopefully, he can keep up his level here. For me and of course, for everyone, he is going to help.

“I think in every game you can see that. I know the game against England at the Euros, he played well. You can see his quality here already and it's been just a few days. You can see in training how good he is, how fast he is. He is definitely going to help us."
