Arsenal's Game-Changing Coup: Sealing the £65m Signing of Kai Havertz from Chelsea
Arsenal close to securing £65m deal for Chelsea's Kai Havertz, aiming to recoup a substantial part of his £75m transfer fee Discussions with West Ham's Declan Rice also progressing positively Stay updated on the summer transfer window with Sky Sports
Arsenal are close to reaching an agreement with Chelsea over the signing of Kai Havertz.
It is understood the Gunners will pay Chelsea £65m for the 23-year-old Germany international.
Personal terms are reportedly agreed upon with Havertz, with only the final details remaining to be finalized before the agreement is officially sealed. Chelsea is said to be content with the deal, considering Havertz's expressed desire to depart from Stamford Bridge.
Havertz's departure from Chelsea marks the conclusion of his three-year tenure at the club. He cemented his place in the team's history by scoring the decisive goal that secured their second Champions League title in 2021. Having been signed from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020 for a hefty fee of £75m, Chelsea aimed to recover a significant portion of their investment due to Havertz's underwhelming performance during the past season at Stamford Bridge.
The potential move to Arsenal not only provides the Blues with a significant financial boost but also enhances Mikel Arteta's attacking choices, bringing more flexibility to the team's strategies. This transfer comes as the Gunners aim to capitalize on their impressive second-place finish in the previous Premier League season.
