Liverpool fans all say the same thing after Kai Havertz masterclass

Liverpool fans are calling on Jurgen Klopp to make Kai Havertz his top transfer target this summer.

The Reds have been linked with a big-money move for the German star, who is being tipped to leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer.

The 20-year-old is being touted by some of Europe's biggest clubs, with Bayern Munich also said to be very keen on Havertz.

Havertz is often used as an attacking midfielder, a role which Klopp doesn't utilise in Liverpool's 4-3-3 system.

However, the young German is also adept as playing as the focal point of Leverkusen's attack, dropping deep at times to link play, in a similar role to Roberto Firmino.

At 6ft 2", Havertz also offers a physical and aerial presence, as illustrated when he headed Bayer Leverkusen ahead against Werder Bremen on Monday night, in his first game back since the Bundesliga's return.

He then added his eighth goal of the season later in the half, again heading home a pin-point delivery to leave Liverpool supporters gushing on social media.

With Havertz heavily linked with a move to Anfield, the Bundesliga's return offered Reds the chance to look at their potential recruit in action.

Here's a selection of what they had to say on social media.

Leverkusen are said to be demanding a fee of around £80million for Havertz and given the current financial climate caused by COVID-19, it remains unclear what funds Klopp will be working with this summer.
