The Blues have already completed the signings of Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech from Ajax in recent weeks.

Metro UK reports the Blues have been locked in negotiations to sign the German star but are yet to agree on a transfer fee for the German star.

It is believed Leverkusen value Havertz at £90million but the west London side is only willing to splash £70million on the forward.

However, talks are still ongoing and Chelsea are said to be optimistic of completing a deal for the youngster soon.

Meanwhile, apart from landing a centre forward, Lampard remain in dire need of a quality left-back.

And with Kepa Arrizabalaga facing an uncertain future, finding another goalkeeper will be top on the Englishman’s priority this summer.
