Arsenal have contacted Chelsea about the possibility of signing forward Kai Havertz.
There has been no formal offer but Arsenal are working on a proposal.
Havertz has two years left on his current contract and if he doesn’t sign a new deal, Chelsea are aware this window would represent the optimum time to maximise his transfer fee.
Chelsea signed Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020 in a deal worth £75m.

He has produced just 19 goals in 91 appearances. Chelsea have other priorities in the transfer market both in terms of outgoings and incomings.
However, they may look in the market for a new number two if a strong bid comes in for Edouard Mendy and the player wants to leave.
