Here is your morning Arsenal transfer roundup on Sunday, June 18.
Havertz race
Arsenal are 'currently' ahead in the race to sign Kai Havertz from Chelsea. According to German outlet BILD, Bayern Munich are unlikely to pursue their interest in hope of signing another striker.
It's reported they will only make a move for Havertz if they fail to land one of Randal Kolo Muani, Victor Osimhen or Dusan Vlahovic. The news comes after journalist Florian Plettenberg claimed the Gunners were 'very confident' of landing the 24-year-old.
Caicedo 'secret offer'
The race to sign Brighton star Moises Caicedo has taken yet another twist as a 'secret offer' has been revealed. Arsenal are said to have cooled their interest in the midfielder, leaving Chelsea the frontrunners to sign him.
football.london understands that Caicedo is a priority for the west London outfit, who have confidence they can strike a deal with Brighton. Now, according to The Athletic, the Blues submitted a £60million offer to the Seagulls just two weeks ago, coming as something of a "secret" bid after radio silence on it.

Balogun buy-back clause
Arsenal want to insert a buy-back clause in Folarin Balogun's contract, should he leave the club this summer.
According to the Express, the Gunners will hold talks with the USMNT star's agent following the international break to discuss the best choice. The report also states Crystal Palace have now entered the race and have enquired about his services.
Should the 21-year-old leave the club, Arsenal will look to include a future buy-back option so they have the chance to re-sign him in the future.
