Based on reports, Arsenal has joined the competition to take Kai Havertz away from Chelsea this summer.
As Chelsea looks to cut its squad, the German international has been linked with a transfer away from Stamford Bridge come June.
Reportminds.com is aware that incoming Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino wants to reduce the team's team size.
Real Madrid was in the running for Havertz, but the Los Blancos withdrew after learning of Chelsea's £70 million price tag.
The former Bayern Leverkusen attacker is now the subject of attention from the Gunners.
Fabrizio Romano, a sports writer, has offered an update on the transaction and said that Mikel Arteta's team aren't willing to sign him for Chelsea's value of £70 million.
Despite Mikel Arteta's appreciation for the player, which may influence Havertz to push for the transfer to north London
Fabrizio Romano said via his YouTube channel: “Chelsea initially told Arsenal the price tag for Kai Havertz is around £70m-£75m, Arsenal will NEVER pay that money, but from what I understand, sources close to the negotiation believe that it’s possible to sign Havertz for less than £70m-£75m, so Chelsea could be flexible to make this deal happen. The player is keen on the move to Arsenal, he knows Mikel Arteta really appreciates him, but also keep an eye on Bayern. Arsenal know Bayern could be in the race in the next days, but at the moment, Arsenal are leading. "
