Agent Rudiger strikes again as he reveals he played part in Havertz’s pending £72m move to Chelsea

Antonio Rudiger has revealed the part he has played in Kai Havertz’s pending £72 million ($97m) move to Chelsea, as he continues to prove himself as an unlikely agent for the club.

Goal has reported that Chelsea finally reached an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen over a final transfer fee for Havertz on Monday, which could rise to £90m ($121m) in performance-related add-ons.

The 21-year-old has already agreed personal terms with the Blues over a five-year contract, and will join Frank Lampard’s ranks after completing a medical.

Havertz will be following fellow Germany international Timo Werner to west London, as the striker was snapped up by Chelsea for £47.5m ($64m) from RB Leipzig back in June.

Rudiger, who plays alongside both men at international level, said he played a key role in convincing Werner to swap the Bundesliga for the Premier League after the deal was completed.
