Havertz leaves Chelsea for Arsenal in reported £65M move

Arsenal welcomed attacking midfielder Kai Havertz from Chelsea on Wednesday in a deal reportedly worth £65 million.

Havertz, who’ll wear the No. 29 shirt, signed a long-term contract with the Gunners.

The 24-year-old is one of several players Chelsea have sold since the season ended in May. The Blues confirmed the departures of N’Golo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Mateo Kovacic before continuing the clearout with the sales of Havertz to Arsenal and goalkeeper Edouard Mendy to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ahli on Wednesday.

Chelsea have reportedly raised around £120 million.

We keep moving forward.​
