Arsenal have contacted Chelsea about the possibility of signing forward Kai Havertz.

The Gunners are working on a proposal but are yet to submit a formal offer.

Havertz has two years left on his current contract and if he does not sign a new deal, Chelsea are aware this window would represent the optimum time to maximise his transfer fee.

Chelsea signed Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020 in a deal worth £75m.
