Just when it seemed as if Arsenal's targets in this summer's transfer window were clear and obvious, a rather surprising link to Kai Havertz suddenly emerged.
And the interest, as football.london understands is genuine. Although despite reports that the 24-year-old has already agreed personal terms with the Gunners, getting a deal over the line may not be straightforward due to Chelsea's asking price and interest from Bayern Munich.
As things stand there is still a long way to go in terms of both clubs reaching an agreement on a fee for Havertz as the Blues want £70million, but with the Germany international now into the final two years of his contract at Stamford Bridge, Arsenal value him at a considerably lower fee.
