According to reliable sources, the London rivals have now settled on a transfer fee, paving the way for Havertz to commence discussions regarding personal terms and undergo a medical examination. The financial details of the deal are believed to exceed £65 million, inclusive of additional add-ons. Should all go according to plan, Havertz is poised to become Arsenal’s inaugural signing of the season.
Havertz, who joined Chelsea from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020, has showcased his prowess by scoring 19 goals in 91 Premier League appearances for the Blues. One of the highlights of his tenure at Chelsea came in the memorable 2021 Champions League final, where his solitary goal secured a historic victory over Manchester City.
In a further display of ambition, Arsenal are actively pursuing West Ham United captain Declan Rice. The Gunners have already submitted two bids for the highly-regarded midfielder, only to see their advances rebuffed by West Ham. Despite tabling a club-record offer of £90 million, an agreement between the two clubs remains elusive at present.
Additionally, Arsenal has been linked with Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia and Ajax’s promising defender Jurrien Timber. These potential signings demonstrate the club’s commitment to further bolstering their ranks during the ongoing transfer window.
As Arsenal’s summer recruitment drive gathers momentum, fans eagerly anticipate the arrival of Havertz, a player renowned for his technical ability and attacking prowess. The Gunners are hopeful that his addition will provide a significant boost to their ambitions in the upcoming season.
