The 21-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea when the summer transfer window opens, and former Man City winger Leroy Sane appears have confirmed the deal

Kai Havertz's £72m Chelsea transfer appears to have been 'confirmed'.

As reported by football.london, the west London outfit hold an interest in the Bayer Leverkusen wonderkid and if reports are to be believed then they will soon be confirming the signing of the Germany international.

But, former Manchester City winger Leroy Sane just might have beaten them to it.

The Germany international recently sealed a return to his homeland, joining Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich after winning two Premier League titles under Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium.

Although, it would seem that the 24-year-old also keeps his ear to the ground in regards to the latest transfer rumours surrounding his international teammates.

In the video below, Sane can be heard talking about the quality of young players coming through in Germany and he praises Chelsea for signing both Timo Werner and Havertz.

The Werner deal officially went through on July 1 after the Blues activated the £47.5m release clause in his contract at RB Leipzig.

However, there's been no confirmation of Havertz's move to Stamford Bridge as of yet. So either Sane knows something that no one else does, or he's just speculating.

According to the Athletic, Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia is close to working her transfer magic once again by securing a deal for Havertz at a lower price than many would have expected.

The deal is said to be around €80m (£72m) after add-ons, but how much of that is up front is unclear, as some figures that have been mooted include €65m plus €15m, or €70m plus €10m.

Furthermore, Sky Sports Italy claim that Havertz has already agreed personal terms with the Blues, so all that seems to remain is an official announcement - which could come after Champions League football is secured.

Meanwhile, Lampard is still refusing to be drawn on reports linking the Blues with a move for the Leverkusen ace.

"I'm not talking about Kai Havertz, he's a player of another team," Lampard said earlier in the week during his pre-Liverpool press conference.

"I'm looking at a game tomorrow that is so huge for this club the last thing I want to do is talk about players of other teams."
