Chelsea reject Arsenal's bid for Kai Havertz

Kai Havertz scored 32 goals in 139 games for Chelsea. Arsenal sign Kai Havertz in preparation for a second offer for Manchester United's Mason Mount.

Chelsea value both Havertz and Mount at £70m but face a dilemma as to whether they can keep the asking price.

It is clear that Chelsea want to sell Havertz to Arsenal at the right price as the German has two years left on his contract and has shown no interest in signing an extension.

In three seasons at Chelsea, Havertz scored 32 goals in 139 games, including a Champions League final victory over Manchester City two years ago.

Arsenal's £80m starting bid plus allowances for Rice was rejected by West Ham and they are preparing a second offer.

Manchester United are confident Mount won't sign a new deal

United's second bid for Mount is expected to be closer to £50m, still slightly below the Chelsea midfielder's estimate.

Lukaku has turned down a move to Saudi Arabia and is said to be annoyed that Chelsea have not yet sanctioned another move to Inter, where he spent it all this season.

Chelsea are in a good position to sign Brighton's Moises Caicedo, who will demand a hefty fee for the midfielder, and are eyeing goalkeepers and strikers, including Villarreal's Nicholas Jackson, who agreed personal terms with the club and he has a £30m release clause in his contract.
