Here's all the news from around Stamford Bridge over the past 24 hours.
The £12m Leicester transfer decision that could be great news for Chelsea
Ben Chilwell has been linked with a move to Chelsea for some time now.
Frank Lampard is keen to bolster his defence, with the Blues leaking more goals than every other team who finished in the top half of the Premier League this season.
Left-back and centre-back are key positions the Blues are likely to try to strengthen once they complete a deal for Havertz and Chilwell is high among the players Chelsea are keen to sign.
And Leicester may be preparing for his departure already.
Havertz 'agrees' contract with Chelsea
Chelsea have 'agreed' personal terms with Kai Havertz, according to latest reports.
The Bayer Leverkusen star has been heavily linked with a big-money move to Stamford Bridge despite the arrival of Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech.
According to RMC Sport reporter Mohamed Bouhafsi, Havertz has agreed to a five-year contract with Chelsea and ‘absolutely wants’ to push through a move.
Talks are ongoing and Chelsea are ‘optimistic’ of striking a deal with Leverkusen over the next few days by staggering their payment for the Germany international.
Lampard calls for patience in Chelsea rebuild
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has insisted it will take time for the club to reach Manchester City and Liverpool's level after crashing out of the Champions League.
The Blues were beaten 7-1 over two legs by Bayern Munich and despite being happy with finishing fourth, Lampard has called for patience as they look to build towards closing the gap on the Premier League's top two.
"It won’t be an overnight procedure. Liverpool and Man City have pulled away for a number of reasons in the last two or three years in the Premier League," he said after their defeat to Bayern Munich.
"We know where we are at, that’s why people are giving credit for coming fourth.
"That’s nice in this moment but we want more.
"We have to be humble, work hard and understand it will take time but what I have seen from within here is a really good bunch of players that have worked really hard this year and will continue to do next."
