Chelsea are close to sealing the £90m signing of Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz, according to a report.
The Blues are eager to add the Germany international to their new-look frontline for next season, having already brought in Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner.
After weeks of negotiations, Sky Sports News claims that an agreement is now expected to be reached between Leverkusen and Chelsea.
Chelsea will make Havertz their most expensive ever signing, it is suggested, surpassing the £72m paid to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Bilbao two years ago.
The 21-year-old has spent his entire career to date at BayArena, scoring 36 goals and assisting 25 more in 118 Bundesliga appearances for the club.
Frank Lampard's side are also believed to be hopeful of bringing in left-back Ben Chilwell from Leicester City before the window closes.
