Roman Abramovich proves Chelsea commitment amid Kai Havertz transfer links

Roman Abramovich has proven his commitment to Chelsea by injecting some more cash into the Blues.

According to reports, the Russian has put another £7million into the club via a share issue.

It comes on the same day that the Blues owner sold his 40% stake in Highland Gold, which is valued at around $1.4 billion.

For a lot of Blues supporters, Abramovich's commitment night never have been in doubt with the way the club are spending this summer.

Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech have already joined the club, while they are also being heavily linked with a move for Kai Havertz in the coming days.

Werner cost the club £47.5million, while Ziyech coming in put the Blues back around £33m.

However, Havertz is set to cost more than both of those, with Bayer Leverkusen looking to try to get at least €80m for their star man.

Frank Lampard is starting to build his squad for the future at the club, something with Abramovich is obviously keen to back.
