Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack has advised Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz to turn down the temptation of moving to the Premier League and stay with the Bundesliga outfit for the benefit of his own career. "Players with his quality are in demand everywhere. But I think he’s in good hands in Leverkusen," Ballack told SportBild. "The conditions there are perfect for young top players and their development. ‘Bayer play attractive football and their training facilities are very good. "Leverkusen also offer a cautious environment, and as a player you can make mistakes without being the focus of criticism. You should appreciate that.
