German striker Kai Havertz could be on his way out of Chelsea with a number of clubs linked with the attacker.

The Guardian reports that Arsenal are interested in snapping up the 2021 Champions League final matchwinner and the German could partner Gabriel Jesus up front.

But the Gunners could face stiff competition for Havertz's signature, with Real Madrid reportedly interested in signing the 24-year-old to replace Karim Benzema.

Should Havertz leave, a fee of around £70 million could be demanded by Chelsea.

Sky Sports News transfer market editor Lyall Thomas:

"It is looking increasingly likely Mount will leave Chelsea, yes, with Manchester United the frontrunners.

"He has been in talks over a new contract for some time at Stamford Bridge, but it has not progressed and our reporter Dharmesh Sheth has been reporting that United are expected to make a formal offer for him.

"Erik ten Hag very much sees him being able to bolster his midfield and bridge the gap between Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes."

Manchester City legend Ilkay Gundogan's future is still up in the air.

The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder, who excelled in the latter part of the season as City completed a famous treble, is out of contract this Summer.

It has been expected that he would leave City, but Sky Sports reports that City are in contract negotiations with the 32-year-old over an extension.

Arsenal are rumoured to be keeping an eye on the situation, as are Barcelona who have courted the German international in the past.
