Chelsea are still leading the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz despite Real Madrid interest. This is According to the Sun.
However, The Sun claim that the Leverkusen attacker is most keen on a move to the Premier League, with the report adding that it will take a bid of around £70m to price the starlet away from Leverkusen.
The Sun hint that the Blues have shown a strong interest in Havertz recently, which is why they’re leading the pack for the ace’s signature.
Frank Lampard’s side could go into next season with the two brightest stars in German football, if they can seal a move for Havertz after reportedly agreeing the signing of forward Timo Werner.
The Germany international has been superb this season, scoring 15 goals and registering eight assists.
Havertz also seems primed to play a massive part for Germany in next summer’s delayed Euros as well as for the foreseeable future, the ace has got seven caps to his name so far.
Lampard’s side need attacking reinforcements next season as Willian and Pedro’s contracts are expiring, they could do with another option alongside Christian Pulisic, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech – who will complete a move to west London this summer.
