Chelsea have been handed a golden opportunity in the chase for Bayer Leverkusen sensation Kai Havertz. The Blues are looking to make the Germany international their third summer signing after Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner.

Crucially, Havertz will be allowed to leave if Leverkusen receive an offer that meets their valuation.
The club's managing director Rudi Voller said: "There is nothing specific, nothing to report. Attention, fashion phrase!
"As of now, he is a player of ours. We have our ideas, we know what he can do. I personally hope that he stays one more year.
"We have an agreement: if it fits, he can go this summer."

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has refused to rule out further attacking additions.
"I’m not completely sure what we’re going to look at in the front line. I’m not sure," he said.
"I certainly don’t want to talk about those things because at the moment we are working towards trying to finish off this season and trying to be better in front of goal in the next five or six games or whatever we’ve got with the FA Cup included."
Chelsea are also interested in Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell.
