Supporters of Newcastle United have been reacting to a transfer link which has been touted between the Toon and Bayer Leverkusen’s Kai Havertz.
According to Sport Bild journalist Christian Falk, as cited by Sport Witness, Steve Bruce’s outfit has an interest in signing the German starlet from his Bundesliga club.
However, the main interest in the 21-year-old comes from Chelsea, who the journalist stated the player can see himself playing for.
Alongside the Toon and the Blues, there is also interest in the midfielder from Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Bayern Munich according to Falk’s tweet.
So, when the transfer link between Newcastle and Havertz was shared to the St. James’ Park faithful (via @NUFC360), supporters aired their reactions.

What a signing that would be. Fantastic talent. Takeover first though.

Other Newcastle supporters did not believe there was any truth to the transfer link, though.
Not a chance, even with the takeover.
