Kai Havertz is no stranger to Liverpool fans. The Germany international has, if reports are to believed, been on the club’s radar for three years now. But with the Bundesliga now the only top-five league back in action, more eyes than ever before are on the 20-year-old. He was given a decent platform to impress, too.

Liverpool will be hoping to brush off a terrible start to 2017 with a victory in their first game in March. It comes off the back of an incredibly poor performance against Leicester City in which the Reds wasted an opportunity to move back into the top four.
There has been plenty of speculation regarding Arsene …
