Frank Lampard drops Kai Havertz Chelsea transfer hint on Instagram

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has perhaps dropped a huge hint that Kai Havertz could be on his way to Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have been heavily linked with the talented German attacker in recent weeks, and Lampard liking a social media post may prove to be a big indication.

Officials from both Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly negotiating a potential deal for Havertz, who is thought to be keen on joining the Blues.

Lampard, like a lot of managers when quizzed on potential signings, has been understandably cautious on what he reveals.

However, the Chelsea legend may have dropped the biggest hint yet that a deal for Havertz could be close by liking an Instagram post.

Instagram account 433 uploaded a video of the 21-year-old nutmegging a defender with a piece of skill, and the Chelsea boss liked the post.

That could just be Lampard admiring a superb piece of skill from the German, but it could also reveal something a little bit deeper.

Reports suggest that Leverkusen are holding out for a £90m fee, but the Blues are only prepared to offer £70m.

Chelsea have already brought in the attacking duo of Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech, who will both make their Premier League debuts next season.
