Kai Havertz: Chelsea midfielder not worried by £71m fee

Chelsea midfielder Kai Havertz says he does not feel burdened with his £71m fee and is "very excited" to learn from manager Frank Lampard.

"In football today it's normal to pay these prices," said the 21-year-old.

"I will not put a lot of pressure on myself because I think I'm not doing the worst things in the past - that's why the price tag was high."

Havertz, who made his debut in Chelsea's 3-1 Premier League win at Brighton on Monday, is regarded as one of the top young players in Europe and is a versatile midfielder.
