Kai Havertz set a new Bundesliga record by scoring in Bayer Leverkusen's 1-0 win against Freiburg on Friday.

The 20-year-old became the first Bundesliga player to reach 35 goals before the age of 21, helping his side climb into the top four after their narrow victory.

The German international latched onto Leon Bailey's pass and was able to score from a tight angle in the early moments of the second half.

Thanks to his admirable performances in recent times, the youngster has sparked interest from a set of Europe's top clubs, including Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Chelsea and Barcelona.

This year, Havertz has scored 11 league goals and assisted a further five.
