That, of course, looks set to change, however, as Havertz travels from Stuttgart to West London to seemingly put an end to the transfer saga of the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The German is set to join up with fellow new signings <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/49fe9070\/Timo-Werner\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Timo Werner<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/86e7deaf\/Thiago-Silva\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thiago Silva,<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/6622454d\/Hakim-Ziyech\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Hakim Ziyech<\/a> as Chelsea continue to build a team ready to take the Premier League by storm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Best Attacking Force in the League?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There are many ruthless attacking forces in the Premier League, from<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/liverpool\/\" target=\"_self\"> Liverpool&#8217;s<\/a> tried and trusted trio to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/manchester-city\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester City&#8217;s<\/a> merciless forward line. Now, though, it is Chelsea&#8217;s turn to take the crown of the attacking kings. With a quadruple of Werner, Havertz, Ziyech, and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/1bf33a9a\/Christian-Pulisic\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christian Pulisic,<\/a> Chelsea should be unstoppable force going forward this season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On paper, it looks the best-attacking force in the league. On the pitch, it may well live up to that tag. With Thiago Silva brought in to add balance to a previously leaky defence, too, Chelsea could challenge for the title once again this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"okCVYELCRm5FMDlUZEPZPQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1270270699\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'okCVYELCRm5FMDlUZEPZPQ',sig:'bretIRNACb3zHKe6XSUC9WynULhfYmsVVRTxb2MqUZ4=',w:'594px',h:'408px',items:'1270270699',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kai Havertz transfer saga looks likely to near its end with each passing second.
