While talks drudge on, Havertz, reportedly has his heart firmly set on a transfer to Stamford Bridge. And as per the aforementioned report, the 21-year-old has already agreed a five-year contract with the Blues, making his intentions of wanting a switch to London even clearer.

Bayer Leverkusen director Rudi Voller has insisted that the club will not be letting Havertz go until their season is done and dusted.

The German outfit are still alive in the UEFA Europa League, although their journey could come to an end on Monday night, when they play Inter Milan in the quarter-finals. Negotiations should speed up once their season culminates.
