Chelsea finally respond to Arsenal’s bid for Kai Havertz

Arsenal have reportedly made their first bid for Chelsea midfielder Kai Havertz, but it has been rejected by the Blues. According to journalist DiMarzio, there is a feeling that a deal can be agreed for less than the £75m that Chelsea are hoping to receive for the German international.

Havertz had a decent season with Chelsea, scoring seven goals and providing one assist in the Premier League. However, the Blues finished 12th on the league table, which was not up to their usual standards. Havertz still has two years remaining on his contract with Chelsea, but he is said to be keen on a move to Arsenal.

If Arsenal can secure Havertz’s signature, it would be a significant boost to their squad. The German international is an excellent attacking midfielder who has shown his quality in both the Bundesliga and the Premier League. He would add creativity and goalscoring threat to Arsenal’s midfield, which was lacking at times last season.

It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will increase their offer for Havertz or if Chelsea will lower their asking price. However, if a deal can be agreed upon, it would undoubtedly be one of the biggest transfers of this summer window and could potentially help Arsenal challenge for next season’s Premier League title once again.
