Bayern fail to land Havertz

Reports claim Arsenal took a significant step forward in the race to sign Havertz after Bayern Munich failed in their bid.

Sky Germany claims that the Bundesliga giants approached the forward to express their interest, but they were informed that Arsenal are much further ahead in their progress to seal the deal.

The outlet adds that Bayern’s approach ‘came too late’ and the Chelsea star's preference is to continue playing in the Premier League.

The development surrounding Havertz's possible move to the Emirates Stadium comes at a time when Mikel Arteta's side are also chasing the signature of West Ham United midfielder, Declan Rice.
