Kai Havertz: Chelsea target leaves Germany squad to finalise future By Alistair Magowan BBC Sport Last updated on 4 minutes ago4 minutes ago. From the section Chelsea Kai Havertz Havertz, 21, would be Chelsea's sixth signing of the summer Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Kai Havertz is set to sign for Chelsea in a deal worth about £71m, including add-ons. The 21-year-old Germany international has been given permission to leave the national squad's training camp and will travel to London before having a medical. Havertz will become Frank Lampard's sixth major signing of the summer. The deal is expected to be completed within 24 hours. Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga remains Chelsea's record signing when he joined from Athletic Bilbao in 2018 for a £71m fee. Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller said he was "grateful to the national coach that Kai can now sort things out with our support on site in London". Havertz, who has seven caps, was an unused substitute in Germany's 1-1 Nations League draw with Spain on Thursday, with the German team set to face Switzerland on Sunday. Last week, the Bundesliga side's head coach Peter Bosz said he "doesn't expect Havertz to train with us again". Last season Havertz scored 18 goals in 45 appearances for Leverkusen, including seven in nine games after the Bundesliga season restarted. Analysis Having been unable to sign players last summer because of a transfer ban, Chelsea have certainly made up for lost time. They have already brought in former Ajax winger Hakim Ziyech, former RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner and Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell for significant fees, plus defenders Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr on free transfers. Havertz's signing takes Chelsea's summer spending to almost £200m. That will mean more is expected of manager Frank Lampard, whose team finished fourth in the Premier League last campaign in his first season and were FA Cup runners-up. There will also be questions about how much playing time some of Chelsea's academy graduates get, having made their breakthroughs last season when the transfer ban was still in force.

it was sais on Sly Sports on Monday that it would be announced towards the end of this week, either today or tomorrow. Let's see, it's just fucking monotonous [if thats how you spell it] spell checker not working

Yes you're right...but he played like a 31 YO with iffy legs "Andriy has always been my first choice for Chelsea since I arrived," Mourinho said. "Before it was not possible, now it is for real. He has great qualities, ambition, discipline, tactical awareness and of course he is a great goalscorer.

Stage right for... Oudward Mendy from Rennes

Spain's Kepa Arrizabalaga, 25, is prepared to stay and fight for his Chelsea place, even if the club are successful in signing a new goalkeeper. (Telegraph) Thats quite depressing

And he cost £31M...a Mil for everyone one of his years

Opppppps sorry screenshot didn't work

We don't only need a new 1st choice keeper, we need a decent 2nd choice well

Dave no way, he was my fav for many years. But last season showed he should be put out to pasture, he struggled all season, and then the FA cup final he got mugged everytime by Aubameyang it was painful. No! it's got to be: James Zouma Thiago Chilwell Not sure who's captain i'd probably go for Kova

I wanna see an improvement on surcoming to relegation fodder. I fancy finishing 3rd, a decent run in both domestic cups maybe winning the FA cup. And the quarter finals at least in the ECL.

Well done girls. Played well a deserved win 2-0

That line up is fucking awsome, get Onana now and it will be complete Who do you reckon for Captain tho?

No I won't.. so there

I'm not getting too excited just yet, none of the 3 have signed yet. Thiago is having a medical tomorrow (Thursday) apart from that PSG have now made him an improved offer. Chilwell: Dunno seems to have gone quite on him Haverzt: Nothing definate as of yet. GK we desparately need a to cless goalie, mind you anyone is better than Kepa

Yes! but will he still be injured when the season starts?

First I want to see if we get our transfer targets. Then lets go for the jugular, can't wait, if we don't get a result and I mean an impressive result then that will fuck my year up

What no Pulicic? Havertz in his place?

How hate has turned into

No it's not, it's appalling like the rest of his play, every time I see his name on the team sheet I cringe. And the other bad news is we also need a number 2 [No i don't mean a dump] we need to replace Willy, IMO we should have gone or Ben Foster.

Chilwell not a done deal yet. And for Kante replace with Kovacic

Seeing as we're an English club in England don't you think that English should be the language of choice. And if you ca't speak it learn it..simple..him I mean not you

LOL

Chillwell no it don't seem done - Chelsea's bid to sign Ben Chilwell from Leicester City in a £50m deal could collapse on Monday, with the 23-year-old England defender set to visit a specialist over his heel injury. (Sun) And Silva no way!!!! here we are getting rid of geriatrics and we are talking about bringing him in, carry on like this and we're going to become Bathchair United, if he wasn't past it PSG would'n be letting him go. This should be about building for the future not living in the past.
