Kai Havertz Ready to Join Arsenal
Kai Havertz, the Chelsea forward, has indicated to Arsenal that he is ready to join them this summer. The Germany international has two years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge and has shown no indication he is ready to commit to a new deal. With Chelsea ready to cash in for the right offer, Arsenal have registered their interest and hope to bring him to north London after wrapping up a deal for West Ham skipper Declan Rice.
Arsenal and Chelsea in Talks Over Fee
The clubs remain in talks over a fee but according to Fabrizio Romano, Havertz has already given the green light over a move to the Emirates. Bayern Munich are also interested in the 24-year-old while Real Madrid are understood to have ended their interest. Chelsea are demanding £70million for the former Bayer Leverkusen star, a price Arsenal are not willing to pay. Reports have suggested the Gunners would be willing to go as high as £60million including add-ons.
Arsenal’s Immediate Priority is Declan Rice
Arsenal’s immediate priority is agreeing a deal to bring Rice to the Emirates with West Ham rejecting their opening bid, ‘unimpressed’ with the first offer. The £80million offer was reportedly comprised of a number of instalments and included add-ons which included Arsenal winning the Premier League or the Champions League. Arsenal are expected to return with an improved offer but will be expected to improve the structure of their bid significantly. Manchester City are also ready to enter the race for Rice’s signature.
Havertz’s Potential Move to Arsenal
Havertz is thought to be a deal worth £250,000-a-week which Arsenal are willing to match. Chelsea did business with Arsenal as recently as the January transfer window when Jorginho completed his move across the capital in a £12million deal.
