KAI HAVERTZ has left the Germany camp to complete his Chelsea transfer, reports claim.
The 21-year-old was an unused substitute as Joachim Low’s side drew 1-1 with Spain last night.
But despite Die Mannschaft having another match against Switzerland on Sunday, Havertz has left training to travel to London and sign for Chelsea.
According to David Ornstein, Havertz still has to undergo a medical before joining Frank Lampard’s side – although an announcement is expected imminently.
It is understood that the seven-cap international has agreed a £310,000-a-week deal to sign for the Blues.

And he’ll become the latest acquisition in a busy summer for Chelsea transfer supremo Marina Granovskaia.
The West Londoners have already sealed moves for Hakim Ziyech, Thiago Silva, Malang Sarr, Ben Chilwell and Havertz’s international colleague Timo Werner.
And another German, Antonio Rudiger, has admitted to playing his part in the deals.
He said: “I made my contribution to Timo. I hope that it will happen with Kai too.”
Midfielder Havertz, who can also play off the right flank, has caught the eye for Bayer Leverkusen – netting 29 goals in the last two Bundesliga seasons.
It is believed that he snubbed Bayern Munich – because he thought he’d be joining Real Madrid.
But when it became apparent that Los Blancos couldn’t afford him in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Chelsea pounced to convince him to move to Stamford Bridge instead.
While he may have initially been sceptical, Havertz has been won over by Chelsea’s ambitious project.
