Glen Johnson has urged Chelsea to sell Kai Havertz in the summer transfer window.
The German striker has had a mixed Chelsea career since moving to London from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020. The 23-year-old has netted just 19 times in 85 Premier League appearances for the Blues, although he did score the winner in the 2021 Champions League final against Manchester City.
However, since Thomas Tuchel's appointment at Bayern Munich last month, Havertz has been linked with a move to the German champions. "Bayern are generally a huge club that it's hard to say no to as a German player," said Havertz, speaking to Sport Bild. "But my personal goal has always been to play abroad at some point. In England or Spain."

Now, former Chelsea defender Johnson has urged the Blues to sell Havertz this summer, claiming he is "slow and lethargic". Speaking to DAZN Bet the former Liverpool star said: "I know he has had a few big moments there and won a few big trophies, but I think if it was between keeping him or [Mason] Mount, I would much rather keep Mount. Havertz is a good footballer, but I don’t think he really suits the Premier League.
"Everything he does is so slow and lethargic and, although he is a very technical player, it helps when you’re in the Bundesliga playing for a top team and doing everything really methodically with more time afforded on the ball.
"I also think he would bite your arm off to go back to Germany, so if Chelsea have to get rid of a marquee name this summer, I think it will be him."
