Kai Havertz agrees to Arsenal transfer as Chelsea release 13 players

The most reliable of sources has revealed that there will be no problem regarding Kai Havertz’s personal terms as a transfer to Arsenal looks very likely. Meanwhile, Chelsea have released 13 players. The Pride of London discuss.

First of all, let’s talk Havertz. The Germany international has not lived up to Blues expectations at all. That is regarding what the club expect, along with what fans thought he was capable of. Although, Havertz will be fondly remembered at Stamford Bridge for one incredible moment, if not a few more. However, I feel that his momentous Champions League goal provided a thin veil for his constantly underwhelming Premier League displays over a few seasons. One aspect which may have helped the former Bayer Leverkusen man showcase his best would be to play the No.10 behind a genuine centreforward. Yet we may not see the the 24-year-old feature for CFC ever again because a couple of very believable sources have claimed that he wishes for a move to one of Chelsea’s rivals from the capital, Arsenal.

Nathan Gissing has spoken on the fact that Havertz is wanted by the Gunners. Although, Mikel Arteta’s team’s initial and unspecified bid was rejected as the west Londoners resist with their £75million valuation in mind. The only thing that surprised me is that the Blues are said to want to keep the German after he disappointed for a while but is in-demand. This is strange as I cannot see the Arsenal move working out. In addition to that trustworthy journalist’s revelations, Fabrizio Romano stated on Friday that it won’t be an issue for AFC and the player to agree personal terms, implying that the wage aspect is handled.
