Arsenal's first summer signing of 2023, Kai Havertz, took to Instagram to announce his engagement to Sophia Weber. Sophia Weber is a German model who has been in a relationship with the former Chelsea man for quite some time now. The two grew up together in the same neighbourhood and have officially been dating since 2018.
The announcement comes just days after the German international completed his £65 million move to the north London outfit. He signed a five-year deal that will see the former Bayer Leverkusen man earn £17 million a year. Former Chelsea teammate Ben Chilwell reacted to Havertz's Instagram post:
"Congratulations to you both"
Chilwell and Havertz spent three seasons together at Stamford Bridge, during which the two shared the pitch on 66 occasions. The 24-year-old forward joined the Blues from Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen in 2020 for a reported fee of €81 million (via Trnasfermarkt).
However, Havertz had a tough time of things after his big- money move to the Premier League. From his 35 appearances in England's top-tier league last season, the forward managed just seven goals.
Overall, the player made 47 appearances across all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing one assist. During his three-year stay at Stamford Bridge, Havertz has managed 32 goals from 139 appearances. However, he managed to win three major trophies at Chelsea, including the UEFA Champions League, in his debut season. He also scored the winning goals in Chelsea's UEFA Champions League and Club World Cup triumphs.
