Chelsea transfer rumours: Kai Havertz blow, Ben White bid rejected, Ben Chilwell latest

Chelsea continue to be linked with a host of players during what looks set to be a busy summer at Stamford Bridge.

Having already signed Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech, it appears that Frank Lampard is keen to put his own stamp on the Chelsea squad.

Here are the latest Chelsea transfer rumours.

Kai Havertz blow

Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol says Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen are some way apart in their valuations of Kai Havertz.

The attacking midfielder remains keen to join Chelsea this summer, with personal terms already said to have been agreed.

Yet the two clubs are yet to come to a deal themselves over the negotiating table, with a gap in their valuations of the 21-year-old.

Leverkusen's asking price is £90m but Chelsea are reportedly keener to do a deal at around £70m.

Leeds' Ben White bid rejected

Football Insider report that Leeds United have had a third bid rejected for Ben White.

The Elland Road club are desperate to sign their former loanee on a permanent basis after his fine form helped them to promotion from the Championship.

Brighton are adamant he is not for sale, though.

Yet both Chelsea and Liverpool have become linked with the 22-year-old centre-back.

He will not come cheaply, with the latest bid knocked back said to be £30m.

Chilwell latest

Speaking on the London is Blue podcast, the Telegraph's Matt Law says that Ben Chilwell is still Chelsea's first-choice option at left-back.

The Blues have long been linked to the Leicester City full-back but a deal is yet to be agreed due to the Foxes' high valuation of him.

It has led to links with the likes of Sergio Reguilon and Nicolas Tagliafico.

Yet Law says Chilwell is still Chelsea's preferred option.
