Chelsea are moving closer to landing Germany starlet Kai Havertz after holding constructive talks with his club Bayer Leverkusen.
According to The Guardian, Chelsea and Leverkusen are still thrashing out terms over the £90m price tag over Havertz, but the player himself is set on a move to Stamford Bridge.
And it is believed that the two clubs held productive talks on Wednesday, meaning Havertz is a step closer to sealing his mega-money move to the Premier League.
The 21-year-old's potential arrival in London would mark yet another coup for Lampard as he looks to build on an encouraging first season at Chelsea.
He has already signed Hakim Ziyech from Ajax and forward Timo Werner from Red Bull Leipzig in two eye-catching attacking additions.
Havertz has been coveted by elite clubs across Europe but Chelsea have caught Havertz's attention most and the club are said to be offering Leverkusen add-ons and bonuses to take the overall potential fee closer to the £90m mark.
Havertz made 45 appearances for Leverkusen in the 2019-20 campaign, scoring an impressive 18 goals for the German club.
But their fifth-place finish consigned the club to another season of Europa League football and the Germany international has his sights set on the Champions League.
Lampard led Chelsea to a fourth-place finish in his first season at the club where he made his name as a player, against impressive odds considering they were under a transfer ban when he replaced Maurizio Sarri last season.
Chelsea begin the Premier League season away to Brighton on September 14.
