Kai Havertz is eager not to set himself any big goals at Chelsea.

The 21-year-old became the joint-most expensive player signed by a British club when he arrived from Bayer Leverkusen for £89m earlier this month.

"Of course I watched the Premier League as a kid, very often with my family and with my parents," he said.

"Now it seems a bit unreal for me and my family that I am sitting here for a club like Chelsea… I was dreaming as a kid to play in the Premier League and for Chelsea as well, a very big club and one of the best in the world."

He added: "For me the dream came true very early. I'm just 21.

"Of course it's a big price tag but I think in football today it is normal to pay these prices.

"I will not put a lot of pressure on myself because I think I am doing not the best or the worst because the price tag is that high. I am trying to focus on football and trying to play my best football here in Chelsea and not put pressure on myself. I'm just playing football, I love to play football. That's why I'm here."

He added: "It took very long, but now I am here I am very happy to be here and I think I have settled in very well."
