KAI HAVERTZ has agreed personal terms ahead of a shock transfer to Arsenal, reports suggest.
The Chelsea ace has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates in recent days.
And now, according to Fabrizio Romano, personal terms have been agreed between the two parties.
Havertz, 24, is said to have been pushing for the move which will end his three-year stay at Stamford Bridge.
The personal terms he is set to agree will reportedly see him net a bumper £200,000-a-week contract.
The deal for the German will cost Arsenal around £68million (€80m) according to Florian Plettenberg.

Interest in Havertz has also originated from Bayern Munich, who are said to have inquired about conditions for a deal for the ex- Bayer Leverkusen star.
However, Plettenberg adds the Bundesliga champions have been informed that talks with Arsenal are "too advanced", leaving them unable to hijack the deal.
SunSport earmarked Havertz as one of five stars Arsenal can sign this summer to take a step up as they aim to end their nearly two-decade Premier League title drought.
Mikel Arteta appears to agree with this assessment, viewing Havertz as a priority signing for the 2023/24 season, which Arsenal will kickstart with a match against Nottingham Forest.

Arteta himself has also reportedly been the subject of interest from Paris Saint-Germain after they held talks with him over their vacant manager role.
While Havertz appears set to leave Stamford Bridge along with a host of other stars such as Marc Cucurella, Chelsea appear set to win the race to sign Moises Caicedo.
Mauricio Pochettino has also lined up his Havertz replacement in the form of Villarreal's Nicolas Jackson after triggering the 21-year-old's £30m release clause.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have also reportedly contacted Tottenham over a surprise swoop for Harry Kane.
Elsewhere, Chelsea have pulled out of the race to sign Andre Onana and have switched focus to a three-man goalkeeper shortlist.
