Latest Chelsea transfer rumours: Havertz deal, Bakayoko talks, wonderkid to sign new contract

Chelsea's exciting summer transfer window continues with Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz now tantalisingly close to wrapping up his move.

The Germany international is set to be a club-record signing for the Blues, taking their summer spending total to beyond £200m.

But that's not all, Chelsea are still also looking to strengthen other areas, despite already wrapping up five arrivals already in Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr.

10 players Chelsea could sell

Below we run you through all the latest transfer rumours and gossip.

Havertz confirmed

Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen for €80million (£72million), potentially rising to €100million (£90million) with performance-related add-ons.

The Germany international, described as a generational talent, has signed a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge and will be one of the squad's highest earners.

Havertz, 21, had asked to leave Leverkusen at the end of last season after Peter Bosz's side failed to qualify for the Champions League.

Personal terms between Chelsea and the attacker had long been agreed.

Milan eye cut-price deal

AC Milan are being tipped to land Chelsea outcast Tiemoue Bakayoko for a cut price deal.

Bakayoko was valued at around €30m, but Gazzetta dello Sport say Milan could land him for significantly cheaper.

The report claims Bakayoko could return to San Siro, where he has spent time on loan for between €2m and €3m with an option-to-buy worth €20m.

Chelsea are said to be open to a loan with an option to buy.

Gallagher to pen new deal before move

Conor Gallagher is expected to complete a season-long loan move to Crystal Palace.

Though, not before he commits his future to Stamford Bridge and Chelsea.

According to The Sun, Gallagher's move is being held up by contract talks with the Blues.

The midfielder completed his Palace medical last weekend but will not complete his move until his new Chelsea contract is agreed.
