Kai Havertz: Chelsea's £71m midfielder not worried by how much he cost

Chelsea's £71m midfielder Kai Havertz says he does not feel burdened with how much he cost 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.
