Kai Havertz is pushing harder to move to the Premier League than Jadon Sancho.
Bundesliga stars are connected with one step to the English elite.
Havertz, 21, at 90 million pounds, is attracting a lot of interest from Chelsea, while United disagrees with Borussia Dortmund, which 20-year-old Sancho weighs 108 million pounds.
According to Sky Sports, the couple is “the one who moves as fast as possible”.
BLUE MOON
Frank Lampard reportedly turned down a job offer from another club last summer to take charge of his beloved Chelsea.
The 42-year-old won rave reviews in his first year as coach after guiding Derthrough to the championship play-off final, where he won 2–1 through Aston Villa.
Although many canceled Chelsea at the start of the season, Lampard took his team to fourth place in this quarter, while his team also finished a moment in the FA Cup.
But it could have been a very different path for Lampard had he chosen to go down another route, with The Athletic stating that the three-time Premier League winner had a job proposal from another club.
‘THANKS FOR EVERYTHING’
Chelsea said goodbye to Peter after years.
The 33-year-old is now about to join Roma with a loose transfer.

COOK FOR MORE
Chelsea’s Tiemoue Bakayoko has agreed terms with AC Milan.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the French star is in a position to get a massive victory to sign for the Italian team.
His salary will go from about 5.4 million pounds a year to 2.7 million pounds plus bonuses.
Bakayoko has spent two years on loan at AC Milan and AS Monaco.
But Chelsea are still believed to be hoping to secure around £31.5million for his signature.
FERD IT HERE FIRST
Robert Pires has named Rio Ferdinand and John Terry as the toughest two war parties he has in the Premier League.
Gunners legend told the MOTD Top 10 podcast: “In the Premier League are John Terry and Rio Ferdinand.
“The matches against Chelsea and Manchester United have been tricky and Terry and Ferdinand have been very tough, very physical.
“Coming from France to play in the Premier League, it was very complicated at first.”
I HAVE TO GET IT.
Chelsea has signed a five-year contract with Bayer Leverkusen striker Kai Havertz.
Now Londoners will have to pay the move payment for the 21-year-old, and Leverkusen will not be short of decreasing his initial value of 90 million pounds.
According to RMC Sport, “discussions continue” between the two sides, and Chelsea is “optimistic” to conclude the agreement.
Havertz will sign up for an advance line that includes new recruits Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner, who will surely thrill the faithful at Stamford Bridge.
BEING FRANK
Frank Lampard creates a Chelsea who can fight for the Premier League name next season, Ricardo Carvalho said.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, the Chelsea legend said: “Since he has lost Eden Hazard, he has done very well.
“He was given a spot in the Champions League for next season, which of course is very important, and brought talented young players.
“Frank is building a team and I think next year he can fight for the name with those players, of course.
Exclusive
Brighton do not want to lose in-demand Chelsea target Ben White – but are happy to let Shane Duffy leave.
Albion turned down an offer to be by Leeds prodigy White, for whom he has shined on loan this season.
Several main clubs, Frank Lampard and Liverpool, are following their progress.
But Graham Potter plans to start with White next season and has maintained that he didn’t need to see the 22-year-old leave.
Duffy, 28, is about to move forward with the talks between the Seagulls and West Brom about a conceivable transfer.
FOX HUNTING
Another call has been added to the chelsea goalkeepers’ goal list.
The Times reports that Frank Lampard is an admirer of Kasper Schmeichel, who is in a position to leave Leicester for a Champions League club.
Duncan Castles writes: “The 33-year-old has long had the ambition to form Manchester United, which he has with David De Gea, and is admired through Lampard, who has his own Spanish goalkeeper problem.”
I HAVE SOME OF THEM
Chelsea will point to Kai Havertz “if they do it as much as he does,” Sky Sports informs Kaveh Solhekol.
He says Havertz has been agitated by a movement in the scenes and is more interested in enrolling in Chelsea than Jadon Sancho is expected to sign up for Man Utd.
The result of all this is that an agreement will be reached after the end of Bayer Leverkusen’s Europa League campaign.
It may be as early as tonight, when they face Antonio Conte’s Inter in Germany.
Leverkusen’s sporting director, Rudi Voller, continues to insist that Havertz will be gone for less than 90 million pounds, but Solhekol says it is a “standard tactic” in those situations.
CHELSEA FANS GOOD MORNING,
Tammy Abraham admits that he will have to take his game to a new level to beat Timo Werner in the leading attacking role in Chelsea.
But the 22-year-old English star is in no condition to cede his post alongside Frank Lampard without a fight.
He said: “This is something I’ve been dreaming of as a kid so I have to fight for my spot, it’s never going to come easy.
“It wasn’t easy at the beginning of the season, but I joined the team and that’s what I have to keep doing.
“This is Chelsea Football Club. There will be the best criteria and the highest competition.”
Abraham had a decent first full season in the Blues’ first team last season with 19 goals, but Werner’s arrival of forty-five million pounds to Stamford Bridge leaves his position under a serious threat.
On the front, Chelsea is said to have made a 20 million pound move to face Manchester City defender John Stones.
The 26-year-old English star is likely to leave the Etihad this summer after the arrival of 41 million pounds from former Blues player Nathan Ake.
According to the Mirror, the former Everton boy has emerged from Chelsea boss Frank Lampard.
The report adds that Lamps believes he can resurrect Stones’ career and is in a position to sanction a movement of 20 million pounds.
THE PRICE IS OK
Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly refusing to drop their asking price for Kai Havertz.
The Leverkusen needs a hundred million euros. Chelsea introduced 60.

HAVING THE BLUES
Kevin Phillips has claimed that the arrivals of Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech will spell the end of England duo Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi at Chelsea.
He told Football Insider: “You can see things in two tactics as a player.
“For me, with my own head, I see it as a competition, with whom I can be informed and that means that it has to be done in education week after week to claim a position in the camp.
“But basically, when you bring in quality players like that, you expect those two players to start.
“Frank knows more that this festival is healthy on any team as long as everyone is happy. These young players have had a first-team action flavor, but they are less difficult to handle than two more experienced players sitting on the bench and not playing. .
“Competition, however, I say you have to worry. Consider a challenge to approve and claim.”

Norwich City is looking to secure a loan from Chelsea’s Ethan Ampadu after his move to RB Leipzig last season.

I HAVE SOME OF THEM
Chelsea has signed a long-term contract with Kai Havertz.
RMC Sport says the Blues have agreed to a payment with Bayer Leverkusen for the German transfer.
Yet the report adds that Havertz has agreed to pen a deal which will keep him tied to Stamford Bridge until the end of the 2024-25 campaign.
CHRIS ALMIGHTY
Christian Pulisic shared a photo of his training years with Chelsea teammate Mason Mount.
LEW BEAUTY
Tammy Abraham has admitted that he is encouraged through the world forward, Robert Lewandowski.
He told Chelsea’s website: “For me, he’s the front man at the world class right now, and that’s the point where I want to succeed and improve. That’s what I aspire to.
“Coming here and playing against him is a great learning curve, a great experience for me.
“Going into next season and onwards I’ve got to build myself to get to those high levels.”
ONCE ON A BLUE MOON
Tammy Abraham insisted that Chelsea have had a “phenomenal” season despite their last losses in the FA Cup final and in the Champions League.
He told Chelsea’s website: “It’s been a season for me and the boys.
“I couldn’t have asked for a bigger season.
“I have had a few niggles here and there, but I have come out stronger and now I have to build myself for next season and start well and end well. That’s my aim. I have to raise my bar and go again.
“It’s never been easy at the beginning of this season, however, I’ve made my way through the team and that’s what I have to keep doing.”
Unexpectedly
Chelsea must have made a 20 million pound move to reach Manchester City defender John Stones.
The 26-year-old English star is likely to leave the Etihad this summer after the arrival of 41 million pounds from former Blues player Nathan Ake.
According to the Mirror, interest in the former Everton man has sparked Chelsea boss Frank Lampard’s interest.
The report adds that Lamps believes he can resurrect Stones’ career and is in a position to sanction a movement of 20 million pounds.
But they are expected to face a festival for the Stones by his former boss David Moyes at West Ham.
Arsenal, controlled by former City Arteta assistant, is also interested in the London club having to sell before they can buy.

CHEL WELL
Chelsea’s 7-1 Bayern Munich humiliation was their worst European two-legged result and ensured the Blues conceded the most goals in a campaign.
With a 3-0 disadvantage since the first leg at Stamford Bridge, Frank Lampard’s injured team was 4-1 at the Allianz Arena on Saturday night.
Robert Lewandowski’s double sandwich ends with Ivan Perisic and Corentin Tolisso with Tammy Abraham playing before halftime.
Chelsea have never lost by a six-goal margin or conceded seven in a Two-Match European Tie.
And to make matters worse for underfire defense, that led the overall to 15 goals in a Champions League season, another new and unwanted record.
This put a disappointing end to the first season of the legendary midfielder in command.
In total, in all competitions, Chelsea awarded times, their worst defensive functionality since 1990/91.
CON IS ON
Leeds will bring Chelsea conor Gallagher to his next Premier League term.
And they may simply rejoice in the Blues as they watch to advance some players to bring money to boss Frank Lampard to reorganize his team.
The 20-year-old ahead of Gallagher on loan from Charlton in the league last season, scoring six goals.
He also inspired Swansea, in the semi-finals of the championship play-offs
He is expected to talk to Chelsea this week about the loan or permanent transfer.
A lot of Premier League and Championship chase it.
SUITE WILLIAN
Willian added: “There was also a complaint, which is normal, but the vital thing is that the affection and grievance prompted me to give each and every one of the things in each and every educational session, in each and every game, so that consistently improve up to my last minute with a Chelsea shirt!
“The time has come to move on. I’m going to miss my teammates.
“All the club staff who have treated me like a son will miss me and I will miss the hobby.
“I’m in 15th place, knowing that I’ve won things here and that I’ve done my best productivity in a Chelsea shirt.
“My greatest honest thanks are to all of you and God bless you!”
I’ll do it sometime.
Willian showed his departure from Chelsea in a moving open letter.
The 32-year-old Brazilian spent seven seasons at Stamford Bridge without being able to settle for a contract extension.
In a post he posted on social media, he said, “It’s been seven glorious years. In August 2013, when I won Chelsea’s offer, I was convinced that this was where I deserve to play.
“Today I am sure it was the most productive decision. There were so many moments of satisfaction, some sad, there were trophies and it was very intense.
“However, beyond trophies, I learned a lot about myself. I’ve evolved a lot, a better player and a better person.
“Every education session, every and every game, every minute I spent in the locker room, I learned.
“In fact, I am grateful to Chelsea enthusiasts for the loving way I was welcomed at Stamford Bridge and their help during my time at the club.
BIRTHDAY BOY
Look who’s celebrating his birthday today!
Willian would probably be about to leave Chelsea, but the Blues have wanted Arsenal’s starting winger to have a satisfied birthday.
