Bayer Leverkusen Tuesday spent some of the money from Kai Havertz's transfer to Chelsea by signing Czech centre-forward Patrik Schick from AS Roma on a five-year contract.

After also selling striker Kevin Volland to Monaco last week, Leverkusen, who finished fifth in the Bundesliga last season, have reportedly paid 26.5m euros ($31m) for Schick, according to magazine Kicker.

He spent last season on loan at RB Leipzig, scoring 10 goals in 28 games.

The Czech Republic international played the second-half of their 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final of the Champions League.

Leverkusen sports director Rudi Voeller said he is looking forward to seeing Schick slot into a side containing Jamaica winger Leon Bailey and Argentina striker Lucas Alario.
