Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Kai Havertz is about to join Chelsea after receiving permission to leave the German team’s training ground.
The 21-year-old could become Frank Lampard’s sixth signing of the summer.
Leverkusen have said they value the highly rated player, who has seven caps, at around £ 90 million.
Havertz will travel to London and the move could be completed in the next 24 hours.
Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller said he was “grateful to the national coach that Kai can now fix things with our support in London.”
Havertz was an unused substitute in Germany’s 1-1 draw of the Nations League with Spain on Thursday, with the German team set to face Switzerland on Sunday.
Last week, Bundesliga manager Peter Bosz said he “doesn’t expect Havertz to train with us again.”
Last season, Havertz scored 18 goals in 45 appearances for Leverkusen, including seven in nine games after the Bundesliga season restart.
