Kai Havertz scored the winning goal for Chelsea in a Champions League final, but the German never lived up to the £71m fee the Blues paid Bayer Leverkusen.

Romelu Lukaku returned to Chelsea for a second spell in 2021 in a £97.5m move from Serie A side Inter Milan.
The Belgian had spent three seasons at the club previously where he had successful loan spells at West Brom and Everton in the Premier League.
Lukaku though has never been able to replicate that form at Chelsea, scoring just eight goals in total across his two spells.
In his second spell he was also loaned back out to Inter and to Roma, and he has since returned permanently to Italy with Napoli.
