– Kai Havertz is now on the verge of making a move to Chelsea from Bayer Leverkusen

– The Blues are said to have agreed a five-year deal with the 21-year-old winger

– Chelsea will have to settle with his club for the possibility of landing him this month

Premier League side Chelsea have reportedly agreed to a massive deal with super winger Kai Havertz for him to make a move to Stamford Bridge from German side Bayer Leverkusen.

This latest development will come as a cheering one for Chelsea fans who are currently waiting to see the players Frank Lampard would sign this summer.

Chelsea failed to win any title at the 2019/20 Premier League season in which they also lost the FA Cup final against Arsenal.

The Gunners’ victory over the Blues at Wembley has given them the ticket to play in the Europa League next season, while Chelsea will play in the Champions League.

Having signed Ziyech and Timo Werner, Frank Lampard is still targeting bringing Kai Havertz to Stamford Bridge.

According to RMC Sport, there is ongoing discussions between Chelsea chiefs and that of Bayer Leverkusen with the Blues optimistic of getting the breakthrough.

The report added that Bayer Leverkusen chiefs have insisted that they will only allow Havertz to leave if they see £90 million.

Kai Havertz will move to Chelsea following the conclusion of Bayer Leverkusen’s Europa League campaign.

“We know of the interest of a couple of clubs, especially Chelsea, but for us, the situation is quite simple.

“He has a two-year contract, if anyone wants him on our terms, fine, otherwise he stays here another year and we are happy,” Leverkusen chief Rudi Voller explained.
