Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Chelsea on Monday, July 20.

The buildup to the summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Chelsea eye possible reinforcements.

The Blues failed to bring in a single player during the January window, despite seeing their transfer ban cut short by FIFA.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Stamford Bridge.

Monday morning's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup:

Kai Havertz 'very interested in Chelsea move'

Bayer Leverkusen attacker Kai Havertz is "very interested" in joining Chelsea during this summer's transfer window, according to Bleacher Report journalist Dean Jones.

Havertz's future remains the subject of much speculation, with the 20-year-old expected to leave BayArena this summer in search of pastures new.

Manchester United and Real Madrid have both been linked with the Germany international, but Chelsea are seemingly in pole position to secure his signature.

"He is interested, very interested actually. He really wants to push himself and Leverkusen are pretty surprised at how focused he is on finding a new club," Jones said in an interview with talkchelsea.

"He definitely wants Champions League football though so we will have to wait on that situation to be decided before knowing much more. If he joins then I'm not sure what the future holds for [Callum] Hudson-Odoi at Chelsea."

Havertz enjoyed an excellent 2019-20 campaign for his German club, scoring 17 times and registering nine assists in 43 appearances in all competitions.

Chelsea, who will face Arsenal in the FA Cup final on August 1, have already boosted their attack ahead of the 2020-21 campaign with the signings of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner.



Jadon Sancho 'will have to push for Manchester United move'

Jadon Sancho will reportedly have to make it clear to Borussia Dortmund that he wants to join Manchester United this summer in order to secure a move to Old Trafford.

The 20-year-old enjoyed an excellent 2019-20 campaign for BVB, scoring 20 times and providing 20 assists in 44 appearances, including 17 goals and 17 assists in the Bundesliga.

United continue to be strongly linked with the England international, although the Red Devils are allegedly struggling to come an agreement over a transfer fee.

According to The Mirror, Dortmund are not prepared to accept less than £100m for the former Manchester City youngster, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are reluctant to meet that figure due to the financial impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

As a result, the report claims that Sancho will have to "push" for a move to Old Trafford by making it clear to his German club that he wants to leave ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona have all previously been credited with an interest, but United are believed to be in pole position to sign the attacker.
