Arsenal are interested in signing Kai Havertz from Chelsea and have made their first proposal to sign the player.
Arsenal are said to have emerged as one of the contenders to sign Havertz from Chelsea, according to The Guardian, amid a report from Fabrizio Romano that Real Madrid have cooled their interest in signing him.
Real had identified him as a potential replacement for Karim Benzema, who has departed for Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, but that move now appears unlikely. That report claims the Blues could be tempted to do business for around £70 million ($89m), having signed him for £62.5m ($79m) in 2020.
The Athletic reports the Gunners have already made their first offer for Havertz and are working on a deal to secure his signature. They are said to have already held talks with both their London rivals and the Germany international’s camp.
Bayern Munich are also considering Havertz as a target, meaning the Gunners do not have a clear run at his acquisition despite Real’s reticence to complete a deal.
