Chelsea are confident of signing Kai Havertz on a five-year deal worth up to £90million.
Havertz, the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder, has been Frank Lampard’s top target since Timo Werner’s arrival was confirmed earlier this summer.
The 21-year-old will cost Chelsea roughly £72m upfront, with add-ons possibly taking the total fee slightly beyond the £90m mark.
