Kai Havertz set to become Chelsea’s highest earner by miles after agreeing stunning £310k-a-week deal

KAI HAVERTZ will rake in £310,000-per-week at Chesea - making him the club's highest earner by a long way.

Frank Lampard's side have agreed a whopping £90million fee to sign him from Bayer Leverkusen.

Chelsea have ignored their own wage policy to ensure the deal for Havertz is completed.

His £310,000-per-week pay cheque equates to £80.6million over five years.

The German star, 21, proved his potential after scoring 18 goals for the Bundesliga side last term.

He will earn more than double the likes of N'Golo Kante and Christian Pulisic next season.

Fellow German Timo Werner will be the Blues' second best-paid player on £170,000-a-week following his move from RB Leipzig.

Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and midfielder Kante both pocket £150k each week.
