Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand, has told Chelsea\u2019s Kai Havertz that he doesn\u2019t need to play for the club again.<\/p>\n

Ferdinand believes Havertz has repaid Chelsea the money they spent in signing him from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020.<\/p>\n

The former England international said this while hailing Havertz for leading Chelsea to defeat Palmeiras in the FIFA Club World Cup final last weekend.<\/p>\n

Recall that Havertz scored the winning goal to ensure Chelsea defeated Palmeiras 2-1 at Abu Dhabi\u2019s Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium to win their first Club World Cup.<\/p>\n

The German had led Chelsea to win the Champion League last year after scoring the only goal of the match against Manchester City in the final at the Estadio do Dragao.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Kai Havertz] doesn\u2019t have to kick a ball ever again in a Chelsea shirt, he\u2019s repaid the \u00a370m price tag now,\u201d Ferdinand said on his FIVE YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s scored two of the biggest goals in the history of the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t have to do no more! Shut down, undo your boots, take \u2019em off, chill!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not gonna happen but listen, if he doesn\u2019t play another game for Chelsea, he goes down in folklore.\u201d<\/p>\n
