Chelsea have been linked heavily with a move for Havertz for quite some time now. And recent reports even went on to claim that the 21-year-old German international has decided to make the switch to Stamford Bridge in the summer.
On the other hand, the Blues continue to be linked with goalkeeping reinforcements after Kepa Arrizabalaga’s inconsistent campaign till date.

“We’ll see, I can’t answer that one, we’re not there yet. If the squad needs strengthening or the balance needs changing, if it does and we make moves, great, but at the moment we don’t know.”

Chelsea have already completed the signings of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner from Ajax and RB Leipzig respectively. Adding someone of Havertz’s quality to the attacking department would take the team to a whole new level.
As far as Oblak is concerned, he is, without a doubt, one of the best in the business. There is no questioning that he would represent a major upgrade over Kepa.
It is reported that signing the duo could cost Chelsea around £200m. It now remains to be seen if the club is able to get either of these deals over the line.
