Kai Havertz has the perfect riposte to a question about his £89million price tag after firing Chelsea to Champions League glory.
The Blues broke the bank to sign the German playmaker from Bayer Leverkusen last summer, paying a club record fee, but Havertz already has a place in club legend.
Picked out by an excellent through pass by Mason Mount three minutes before half-time in Porto, Havertz kept his composure to round Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson and finish into an empty net.

The German delighted team-mate Cesar Azpilicueta with his sweary response to the question
The delighted 21-year-old was interviewed live on BT Sport after the final whistle confirmed the second Champions League victory in Chelsea’s history.
Interviewer Des Kelly asked Havertz if he felt he’d now repaid a big chunk of his £89m fee.
A smiling Havertz replied: ‘To be honest I don’t give a f*** about it, we won the f****** Champions League.’
He was promptly embraced by the giggling Cesar Azpilicueta as Kelly was forced to apologise for the ‘fruity’ language broadcast live to millions watching at home.
Havertz did later take to Twitter to apologise for his bad language, writing: ‘Sorry for the swearing. UCL final, you know.’

It was Havertz’s first goal in the Champions League and he certainly picked his moment.
‘Incredible team, we deserved it. I waited a long time [to score in the competition],’ he added. ‘I want to thank my family, my parents, my brother, my grandparents.’
Azpilicueta was full of praise for the young German, saying: ‘He deserves that. He’s a superstar. He gave us the Champions League. He ran like crazy.’

Chelsea withstood late City pressure to lift the Champions League for the second time, having previously won the competition in 2012.
City’s wait for European success continues, as does Pep Guardiola’s wait for a third Champions League to add to those won with Barcelona in 2009 and 2011.
