Chelsea are hoping to sign the German midfielder Kai Havertz within the next ten days.
According to Bild (via Express), Leverkusen will begin their pre-season camp on the 28th of August and Chelsea are hoping to finalise Havertz’ signing before that.
The Blues have been monitoring Havertz for a while now and it would be a major coup for them if they managed to sign the Leverkusen star.
Havertz has picked up 18 goals and nine assists this past season for the Bundesliga side and he would improve Chelsea’s attack massively.
The Blues have already signed Timo Werner from Leipzig and the addition of Havertz will allow them to compete with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City next season.
