Kai Havertz is looking for a way out of Chelsea this summer, according to reports.

There’s been big developments this week regarding the future of Kai Havertz, who’s linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in this transfer window.

The Athletic claimed yesterday that Arsenal have decided to step up their interest in signing Havertz.

Now, there’s fresh claims to suggest the 24-year-old is prepared to move.

First of all, The Guardian reports that Havertz has now told Chelsea of his desire to exit the club amid interest from both Arsenal and Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, well-respected journalist Fabrizio Romano claims that the German attacker is keen on the idea of signing for Arsenal and moving to the Emirates Stadium.

The Blues are asking for a large £75million transfer fee before selling him, but there may be some flexibility on that.

When reporting about Havertz, Romano said on Twitter: “Sources feel that Chelsea could be flexible about price tag after initial £75m request considered too high by Arsenal.

“Player’s keen on the move, it could help Arsenal in the negotiation.”

Chelsea fans are fully aware that Havertz is a technically gifted footballer who can do special things on a football pitch.

Unfortunately, the left-footed forward has had such little consistency during three seasons at Stamford Bridge.

He’s a very frustrating individual to watch because he always leaves you wanting more.

We could support the idea of Mauricio Pochettino using him next season in a No 10 position, but the fact he’s communicated he wants to go is a big red flag.
