Arsenal have been linked with a summer move for 24-year-old Chelsea striker Kai Havertz, with an €80 million deal close.
According to reputed German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Arsenal are now closing in on signing German international Kai Havertz.
Havertz has not been able to live up to the expectations at Stamford Bridge since joining the club, and he has struggled to score goals consistently.
The 24-year-old was regarded as a world-class talent when he joined Chelsea from Bayer Leverkusen.
Mikel Arteta has done well to nurture talented young players at the North London club and he could help the German international fulfil his potential.
Chelsea have used Havertz as a striker, and they were expecting him to score goals consistently and be prolific in the final third.
The 24-year-old could be the ideal creative forward for Arsenal, and he could form a quality partnership with Gabriel Jesus next season.
Arsenal seem determined to improve their squad this summer, and they have been linked with Declan Rice as well.
Players like Havertz will certainly improve them, and it remains to be seen whether the Gunners can secure the agreement soon.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, and they will be looking to use the proceeds from the sale of the German international and sign a reliable finisher this summer.
Apart from Kai Havertz, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is also expected to leave the club this summer.
Meanwhile, the German international was heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent weeks.
