In 2020, Kai Havertz made a notable move from Bayer Leverkusen to Chelsea in a deal worth £71m.
Exciting news for Arsenal fans as the club has now reached an agreement with Chelsea for the transfer of German forward Kai Havertz, with the deal estimated to be around £65m.
Both clubs have reportedly agreed in principle, paving the way for Havertz to enter negotiations for personal terms and undergo a medical examination.
While the initial fee stands at £65m, there is potential for additional add-ons to increase the overall amount. Havertz, who showcased his talent by scoring nine goals in 47 appearances for the Blues last season, will be looking to make a significant impact at Arsenal.
At 24 years old, Havertz joined Chelsea from Bayer Leverkusen and played a crucial role in the team’s victory in the 2021 Champions League final against Manchester City, scoring the winning goal.
Mikel Arteta, Arsenal’s manager, aims to bolster the squad following their qualification for the Champions League, and securing the services of Havertz aligns with this objective.
In addition to Havertz, Arsenal has shown interest in acquiring the services of England midfielder Declan Rice, the current captain of West Ham. However, their initial bid of up to £90m was rejected on Tuesday.
On the other side, Chelsea is actively seeking to trim down their squad size. They have reached an agreement with Manchester City for the transfer of Croatia midfielder Mateo Kovacic, 29, for a fee of £30m. Furthermore, French international N’Golo Kante, 32, has decided to join Saudi Arabian champions Al-Ittihad once his contract expires at the end of June.
The new ownership at Chelsea has emphasized the importance of avoiding situations where players enter the final two years of their contracts. Havertz, whose contract expires in 2025, has not yet agreed to an extension with the club.
