He is set to become boss Frank Lampard’s FIFTH signing of a summer spree shaking English football.

Havertz, 21, is set to pen a five-year contract worth more than £300,000 a week to catapult him into the top earnings league.

Chelsea clinched £50m left-back Chilwell last Thursday and centre-half Silva joined on a free transfer the same day.
