Bayern Munich to rival Arsenal for the signing of Kai Havertz as talks between the Gunners and Chelsea stall over the £70million asking price

Bayern Munich have expressed late interest in signing Kai Havertz from Chelsea.

The Germany international was set for Arsenal but with talks stalling over the £70m asking price, Bayern have made an approach.

He is seen by the Bavarian giants as a cheap alternative to Dusan Vlahovic and Eintracht Frankfurt's Kolo Muani, who's planned move to the Allianzz hit an impasse yesterday.

Arsenal were hoping to bring the price down to £60m, as they focus on completing their move for West Ham skipper Declan Rice, which could cost in-excess of £100million, before trying to close a deal for Havertz.
