There are reports Chelsea have no “imminent” plans to sign Barcelona’s Philippe Coutinho as they turn their attention to Manchester United traget Kai Havertz.

The 20-year-old winger is considered one of the hottest young prospects in Germany and is said to be interesting a number of elite teams.

The Blues are clearly keen to add some more creativity to their squad and have already spent £33m on the acquisition of Ajax star Hakim Ziyech.

Barcelona would be prepared to accept a significant loss on Coutinho with a fee between £50m-£70million reported to be enough to seal his signature.

But The Athletic points out that cost would still put Chelsea off as they’re not prepared to pay close to a club-record fee.

Instead, it is said Chelsea are far more interested in going after the highly-rated Kai Havertz, who they have been scouting on a regular basis.

Havertz, who came through the academy at Leverkusen, has scored six goals and created five assists in the Bundesliga this season, while he has also impressed in the Europa League, with three goals and two assists in just three games.
