Kai Havertz to Arsenal transfer 'confirmed' with 'leaked picture' in new kit

Kai Havertz seems to have been unofficially confirmed as an Arsenal player after a picture of him in his new strip has been 'leaked'. The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium recently, with Mikel Arteta eager to further bolster his attack ahead of next season.

football.london understands that the Gunners could announce the arrival of Havertz as early as this week. After an opening bid was rejected, Arsenal returned with an improved offer worth £60million, including £5million worth of add-ons, which Chelsea have accepted.

Subject to a medical, it's believed that the Germany international will become the north Londoners' first signing of the summer. While it remains to be seen whether Havertz has in fact passed his fitness assessments, the 'leaked' image on social media – which if it's not fake – suggests he has and that he could be unveiled imminently.
