Arsenal are watching Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz.

The Mirror says Arsenal scouts have again been watching Havertz as club chiefs prepare to continue their Emirates rebuild this summer.

But the Gunners face a battle with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, who have made the Germany international one of their chief transfer targets.

This term he has shone, scoring 11 goals from midfield and becoming a key man for Die Werkself, while also showing his maturity and versatility by adapting to a deeper role under new boss Peter Bosz.

Havertz, who has two senior Germany caps, has been on Arsenal 's radar since being watched on duty at Under-19 level.
