Kai Havertz to Arsenal is a done deal now. Only official announcement is lacking. Big moves are being made by Arsenal this summer. They are willing to splash out the cash on big names.
Arsenal and Chelsea are close to agreeing a deal for the sale of Kai Havertz for £65 million. This according to reports from The Athletic journalist David Ornstein.
Kai Havertz to Arsenal deal could help both parties to benefit
The London clubs are currently working to finalise the structure of the impending deal. That would include potential instalments and add-ons.
Havertz has already agreed personal terms with Arsenal. This is as the club have touched base with his representatives days ago.
The north London club are ready to offer him a long-term contract. It is worth a minimum of £210,000-per-week, making him one of their highest earners.
A medical will be scheduled ahead of a transfer being completed if all goes to plan. Arsenal have made their plans very clear to Havertz and he is pretty much convinced with it.
It is reported that Mikel Arteta played a huge role in bringing this deal to a wrap. He convinced Havertz of his experience as well as of his youth. Arteta wants players who are young as well as experienced.
The Gunners have since returned with an improved bid for Havertz as manager Mikel Arteta sees the 24-year-old as top priority, and both clubs are very close to reaching an agreement.
However , the versatility and work rate of the Chelsea ace caught the attention of the Arsenal boss, and the German is very eager to move to north London.
But failure to qualify for any European competition has not helped the Blues, and the need to balance the books is forcing them to sell players.
While Havertz is predominantly a winger, the former Bayer Leverkusen star largely played as a number 9 last term.
However, he can play on both wings and behind a striker,and Arsenal could do with his quality. Moreover, he with his experience in the final third next term and going forward.
