Kai Havertz is reportedly desperate to join Chelsea during this summer's transfer window and has asked Bayer Leverkusen to accept an offer from the Blues.
The Germany international is one of the most sought-after young talents in the game, ending the recent Bundesliga campaign with 12 goals and six assists in 30 appearances.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Havertz has informed Leverkusen of his desire to swap clubs ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, but it remains to be seen whether Chelsea can agree a price.
The attacker has now entered the final two years of his contract at BayArena.

Chelsea are reportedly working on a deal for teenage defender Xavier Mbuyamba following his release by Barcelona.
