Kai Havertz wants to seal Chelsea transfer, Lewis Dunk boost received

Havertz wants Blues move

Bayer Leverkusen ace Kai Havertz is keen to make his dream come true by securing a summer transfer to Chelsea, report Sky Sports.

The Germany international is said to be intent on playing in the Premier League and the fact that the Blues have made him their number one transfer target has heightened his desire for the switch.

Havertz looks set to become one of the club’s highest-paid players which will further sweeten the deal for the playmaker.

Chelsea boost in Dunk interest

Brighton captain and central defender Lewis Dunk is a transfer target for Chelsea and the move has received a potential boost, report football.london.

The 28-year-old is Albion’s reigning Player of the Year and is an option for Chelsea as they look to bolster the heart of their defence.

The report claims that Brighton’s desire to keep hold of the in-demand Ben White – who has returned to the South Coast from a star season at Leeds – suggests they already have their replacement for Dunk.

Capped once by England, it is claimed that Dunk would be an affordable and realistic target for the club compared to Declan Rice.

Chelsea consider Thiago Silva

Central defence is a priority transfer position for the Blues this summer and out-of-contract Thiago Silva has once again been linked to Stamford Bridge.

According to The Telegraph, via football.london, the Brazilian central defender – whose contract at Paris Saint-Germain expires this summer – is on the club’s radar.

The 35-year-old will play his final game for the Parisians in Sunday’s Champions League final against Bayern Munich and will be free to join another club thereafter.

“I have already said a lot of times before I wanted to, that I want to finish [my career] here in Europe,” the defender is quoted as saying.

“A decision was taken, now things are calm in my head. It will be…another club, but my heart will stay here.”
