Kai Havertz is pushing hard for Bayer Leverkusen to agree on a deal with Chelsea ahead of the Bundesliga’s Europa League game against the Rangers next week.

Havertz wants to move to Chelsea and work under Frank Lampard and only a transfer fee deal is holding back the deal.

Leverkusen estimates Havertz at £ 90 million, but all parties hope that a £ 70 million deal, in addition to add-ons, can be made.

Champions League qualification means Lampard has more money to spend after signing Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech.

Havertz returned to training with Leverkusen as they prepare for their Europa League game against the Rangers one week on Thursday, and the 21-year-old would like the deal to be completed before that game.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says the best clubs always want to play in the Champions League, but their long-term ambitions go beyond just finishing in the top four

It will be a busy summer at Stamford Bridge with Lampard also looking for a new goalkeeper, left back and central defender.

Atletico Madrid have no plans to sell Jan Oblak, so any move for him would involve paying the £ 110 million release clause.

Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana wants to switch to the Premier League and would be a cheaper option.

There are question marks about the future of several Chelsea players, including Jorginho, Emerson, Marcos Alonso, Davide Zappacosta, Michy Batshuayi and Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Meanwhile, Willian could agree on a new deal with Chelsea later this week, with the expiration of the current wing contract.

The summer transfer window will last 10 weeks from July 27th and will close at 11pm on October 5th. A window for national exchanges between Premier League and EFL only will therefore take place from 5 October and will close on Friday 16 October at 17:00.
