Posted : 22 June 2023
Sources have revealed that Arsenal has reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign forward Kai Havertz in a deal worth up to £67.5 million.
The negotiations progressed swiftly, with Chelsea indicating a base fee of £62.5 million and an additional £5 million in performance-related add-ons.
The personal terms are close to being finalized, and Havertz is expected to become Mikel Arteta's first signing of the summer.
Arsenal is also pursuing deals for West Ham midfielder Declan Rice and Ajax defender Jurrien Timber. Chelsea is keen to avoid the risk of Havertz running down his contract, which expires in 2025.
