Kai Havertz

Germany forward Kai Havertz has completed a move to Arsenal from Chelsea, signing a five-year contract until 2028 for a reported fee of £65m.

The 24-year-old had spent the last three seasons at Stamford Bridge, having joined from Bayer Leverkusen for £71m.

The transfer fee for Havertz, who netted nine goals for Chelsea in the previous campaign, includes potential add-ons.

Havertz boasts a record of 19 goals in 91 Premier League appearances and famously scored the winning goal in the 2021 Champions League final against Manchester City.

As Arsenal aims to bolster their squad following a six-year Champions League absence, Havertz becomes a notable addition under manager Mikel Arteta.

Excited about his new venture, Havertz expressed gratitude to Chelsea’s fans in a social media statement, acknowledging their support in their joint accomplishment of winning the Champions League.

In an interview on the Arsenal website, Havertz expressed his desire to “win trophies” with his new club. He also praised the high level of mentality within the Arsenal squad, highlighting the challenges opponents have faced against them recently.

Arsenal’s ambitions extend beyond Havertz, as they have reportedly made a third bid of £105m for West Ham and England midfielder Declan Rice.

Meanwhile, Chelsea seeks to trim their squad and has already sold midfielder Mateo Kovacic to Manchester City, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek close to joining AC Milan. N’Golo Kante has agreed to terms with a team in Saudi Arabia, while Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly have moved to the Saudi Pro League with Al-Ahli. Additionally, midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko has departed as a free agent.

Under the new ownership at Chelsea, the club aims to avoid players entering the final two years of their contracts. Havertz, whose contract was set to expire in 2025, opted against extending his stay at Chelsea.
