It's all going right for Kai Havertz at the moment: Ahead of the crucial final game of the season for the Werkself in Berlin, the 19-year-old midfielder is Leverkusen's top scorer with 16 goals. In the second half of the Bundesliga campaign he has scored ten goals. And in the last six matches the exceptionally talented youngster found the back of the net six times for the Black and Reds – four of them in the four fixtures in April: In the home game against Leipzig (2-4), Havertz netted a brace, in Stuttgart he secured the victory in the 1-0 win and also at Augsburg (4-1) his goal put the team on course for victory after the break.
The fans have recognised his performances and made the Germany international the Player of the Month for April. Following Julian Brandt (February), Havertz is the second Bayer 04 player to receive the award this year. Congratulations!
The official award of Player of the Month has been given for the first time in the current Bundesliga season. The vote is carried out by the German Football League (DFL) in cooperation with the official partner of the Bundesliga EA SPORTS FIFA 19. The award is made according to a two- track procedure that takes into account the individual performance data of the player as well as the votes of the fans and experts.
