The Blues have already signed Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech. Havertz would be their third major signing of the summer, should the move go through.
Havertz is arguably one of the highly-rated young midfielders in world football at the moment. He is a versatile midfielder who can play both as a central midfielder and as a right-winger.
Last season he scored 18 goals and provided eight assists in all competitions for Leverkusen.
Chelsea are likely to continue spending on new signings as Frank Lampard is looking to add more quality and depth to the side.
According to reports from The Telegraph, the Blues are close to signing Thiago Silva from Paris Saint-Germain, while they are also close to securing a £50m deal for Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell.
