The Gunners are ready to spend in this transfer market after failing to win last season's Premier League title, they are ready to spend some money in this summer window to shape up their players to come again next season as favorites to win it.
Fo now they are willing to break the bank and go for Chelsea's Kai Havertz.
The 24-year-old is set to leave Stamford Bridge with the Gunners currently the only team interested
Arsenal is interested in Kai Havertz but is unwilling to touch Chelsea's £75m valuation.
The 24-year-old forward is set to leave Stamford Bridge with two years remaining on his current contract, which is one of Chelsea's most expensive at £250,000 a week.
Real Madrid has shown an interest in the German international but is expected to shift their focus to long-term target Kylian Mbappe, who is leaving Paris Saint-Germain. That leaves the Gunners as Havertz's best choice but he is still a long way from moving to any club. Bayern Munich has long wanted to bring the former Bayer Leverkusen man back to his native country but will not seek a deal this summer. Chelsea are ready to defend Havertz even though there are no substantial offers. However, it remains to be seen whether the club's transfer bosses are willing to lower their ratings if interest increases.
The Mason Mount situation is nearly identical. The midfielder's original value was £70 million, which Manchester United were unwilling to pay.
The 24-year-old is ready to leave West London but is waiting for Chelsea to lower their price as United is unwilling to pay that price for a player with one year remaining on his contract. Mateo Kovacic is also in talks with Manchester City. Rivals are keenly aware that Chelsea will need to sell to reduce their squad to a manageable size for new manager Mauricio Pochettino next season.
The bloated 32-man squad is believed to have been a factor in Chelsea's disappointing 12th-place finish last season.
