Arsenal have made an opening proposal to sign Kai Havertz from Chelsea but will face competition from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
That is according to The Athletic, who reports that the North London club hold a strong interest in Havertz and have stepped up their pursuit of the German in recent days following contact with both Chelsea and the player.
Negotiations are at a very early stage but the 24-year-old seems to be a desired star this summer as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also considering the Chelsea man.
Havertz has two years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge and it is being reported that the Blues want £70m for the forward.
Havertz was one of Europe’s most highly-wanted stars before making the move to Chelsea in 2020 but the German has not lived up to expectations since moving to Stamford Bridge.
All this interest in the 24-year-old is somewhat a surprise but whether the player moves this summer remains to be seen, as Mauricio Pochettino will probably want to see what he can do with the Germany international’s talent. This puts the West London club at a crossroads as they need to decide whether to sell the forward for big money or see what the Argentinian coach can do to develop the Chelsea star.
For that money quantaty, I would prefer to go for Vlahovic
With all due, Arteta is ‘a coaching mistake’ to Arsenal. People will be praising him for coming second, but they don’t know how it happened. They don’t know that Arsenal technical board were richly behind that by drawing up and buying key players like Partey which Arteta initially rejected, but used and climb to the top and now want to buy series of Scraps as players! Arsenal needs the likes of Caicedo and Ousmane Diomande in the heart of defensove midfield and defence, but Arteta is busy assembling all fragile left footers as Kiwior, Vieira and now Harvezt! We will certainly fight relegation with Arteta this season.
Arteta left the trophy with what he is doing now in January transfer window, than to bring good reinforcement they went to Georgino and they failed.
