Premier League giants Chelsea have reportedly set their sights on Villarreal's Nicolas Jackson.
Chelsea signed Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020 in a deal worth £75 million and are looking to cash in on him this summer.
Chelsea is aware that this transfer window would be the best opportunity to increase Havertz's transfer fee because he has two years left on his contract.
According to reports, the Gunner have made enquiries for his availability but are yet to discuss any amount.
Chelsea look to offload players
After spending about £600 million on players since last summer, the club must recoup its costs and are currently selling some important players.
Havertz has been on the list of possible departures this summer and has been on the radar of Real Madrid in recent weeks.

The 23-year-old has shown little consistency in comparison to the level displayed while playing for Leverkusen.
In both the Club World Cup final last year and the Champions League final in 2021, he scored the game-winning goal.
He has made 91 appearances and has only scored 19 goals which could be a factor that could lead to a possible departure this summer.
