Havertz is also attracting interest from Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard has admitted his admiration for Havertz but insists the club has not made any offer for the Germany international.
Lampard said: "No, no bids have gone in. He's obviously a top player, but we are certainly not going to comment on other players at other teams, and it cannot be our focus. Nothing to say."
