An X post by Gabby @_Octonauts claimed that Arsenal forward Kai Havertz said: “Without me, Chelsea wouldn’t even be Club World Cup champions. Talk more of Champions League winners. Show some gratitude. I left that club to be Premier League winners what the club could not and would never achieve for years to come.”
The post was accompanied by an edited image of Havertz in an Arsenal shirt Kissing a Premier League trophy.
•Havertz joined Chelsea FC from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020.
•He scored the winning goal in the 2021 UEFA Champions League Final against Manchester City.
•He also scored the winning penalty in the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup Final against Palmeiras.
•He transferred to Arsenal FC in 2023.
While Havertz played a decisive role in Chelsea's success, there is no evidence he has publicly boasted about those achievements or insulted Chelsea supporters.
Verdict: Misleading ( Fabricated quote)
Jamiicheck analysed and made research about this claim and found that;
No credible evidence supports the quote. Searches across news outlets, Hervertz Official Social media pages, and reliable sources (Sky Sports, BBC, Transfermarkt, Wikipedia, UEFA, Arsenal/Chelsea sites) yield zero matches. Trusted journalists like Fabrizio Romano and major outlets report no such comments. The post uses classic troll tactics: sensational “BREAKING” language, common in football rivalry banter.
Conclusion: The quote is fabricated and misleading. It twists Havertz’s genuine contributions to Chelsea’s 2021 successes into an arrogant narrative for Arsenal-Chelsea banter. Havertz played a key role in those trophies but has never made such claims.
