Reports have claimed that former Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has already been in contact with Kai Havertz regarding his potential move to Arsenal.

According to FootballTransfers, the Italian has begun starting to sell the Emirates club to the German ahead of potentially teaming up again next season.

Reports over the last 24 hours have strongly linked Havertz with a move across London this summer.

This follows plenty of interest forming in the last week into the player, with Carlo Ancelotti reportedly a massive fan over at Real Madrid.

However, the difference in valuation seemed to rule the La Liga side out of a move, although supporters will be pleased that there is still a real chance he moves on this summer.

Funds are needed in order to allow the Blues to spend again next season, and it seems as if Mauricio Pochettino is looking to play Christopher Nkunku in the position behind the striker.

Now, his former teammate, Jorginho, has reportedly been in touch to try and help convince him that the move is a good thing.

The Italy international made the move across the capital back in January, when he was set to leave the club for free just a few months later.

He was part of a core trio in midfield that helped Chelsea win the Champions League two years ago, alongside N’golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic.

It looks as if all three will not be at Stamford Bridge next season, with the other two both close to moves away to Saudi Arabia and Manchester City respectively.
