Kai Havertz, who joined Chelsea in 2020 for a hefty £71 million from Bayer Leverkusen, remains a subject of ongoing discussions between Arsenal and Chelsea.
The 24-year-old German forward, Havertz, currently has two years remaining on his contract, and Arsenal has persistently shown interest in securing his services.
Chelsea’s new ownership aims to prevent players from entering the final two years of their contracts. Havertz, whose current deal concludes in 2025, has yet to agree to an extension with the club.
This summer promises to be eventful for Arsenal, as they also pursue a potential transfer for England midfielder Declan Rice from West Ham.
Nevertheless, Arsenal’s pursuit of Havertz would not dampen their interest in Brighton’s Ecuadorian midfielder, Moises Caicedo. The 21-year-old has been on the radar of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for some time. Caicedo himself has expressed proximity to signing for the North London club in January, stating he was “really close.”
While there have been no offers for 30-year-old Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka thus far, there is a possibility that USA striker Folarin Balogun might depart Emirates Stadium during the summer. Balogun, 21, had an exceptional season on loan at Ligue 1 club Reims, netting an impressive 21 goals.
Interest in Balogun’s services has emerged from various European clubs, including those in the lower half of the Premier League. Arsenal is open to his departure if a suitable offer is presented.
Arsenal’s pre-season camp commences on July 9th in Germany, and they aspire to finalize some transfers before that date.
