KAI HAVERTZ has reportedly completed the first part of his Arsenal medical with as his move from Chelsea edges closer.
The German is close to completing a £65million switch from West to North London.
And according to Fabrizio Romano, Havertz has already completed the first part of his medical tests with Arsenal.
It is added that contracts will be signed by the Gunners with the transfer to be completed this week.
Chelsea bought Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020 for £75m in what was a then-club record deal.
And he made himself a hero amongst fans after scoring the winning goal in the 2021 Champions League final against City.
But Havertz, 24, has endured inconsistent form since, struggling to find his favoured role within the starting 11.
He ended last season as Chelsea’s joint top scorer with Raheem Sterling, 28, managing just nine in all competitions.
The Blues have spent over £600MILLION under billionaire American owner Todd Boehly.
But it has left them needing to shift players to both ease space in the squad and balance the books.

Havertz is among those deemed surplus to requirements, with Mateo Kovacic, 29, also joining him out of the Stamford Bridge door.
Kovacic is on the verge of signing for Manchester City while N’Golo Kante, 32, has also left for Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.
Kalidou Koulibaly, 32, is also now with Al-Hilal and could soon be joined by goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, 31.
