Kai Havertz is set to undergo his medical and sign a long-term contract with Arsenal after a deal was finally agreed with Chelsea for his signature, according to various sources.
The Daily Mail reported on Tuesday that Mikel Arteta’s side had made an improved verbal offer worth up to £60m for the Germany international after their opening offer worth around £50m was rejected by the Blues.
However, Arsenal returned with a third offer and Fabrizio Romano says a deal has now been agreed between the two clubs. The renowned transfer expert says Arsenal will pay £60m as a ‘guaranteed fee’ with £5m potentially being paid in add-ons, meaning the deal could reach £65m.
Romano says Havertz has already agreed a long-term contract with Arsenal, reportedly worth around £210,000-a-week, and the attacker is now set to undergo his medical before signing his deal this week.
The Italian journalist claims that Havertz has played a key role in negotiations as he made clear he only wanted to join Arsenal after being convinced by the project put forward by Mikel Arteta.
