Arsenal are confident they can make the £60million man their first signing of the summer this week.
Havertz is understood to have already agreed personal terms on a five-year deal with the Gunners.
The move would see Havertz become the 14th player to appear for both clubs in the Premier League, but can you name the others?
Petr Cech
Petr Cech won four league titles and the Champions League with Chelsea before ending his career with Arsenal.
Although the then veteran goalkeeper did not reach the same heights during four years in North London, he did win the FA Cup in 2017.
William Gallas
French defender William Gallas moved to Arsenal on a free transfer from Chelsea in 2006 after three years with the Blues.
He would go on to captain the Gunners before leaving to join arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur in 2010.

Ashley Cole

Arsenal academy graduate Ashley Cole controversially left Arsenal for Chelsea on Deadline Day in August 2006.
His decision paid off, though, as he went on to become one of the world’s best defenders, making 337 Chelsea appearances and winning 10 major trophies.
Olivier Giroud
French striker Olivier Giroud won three FA Cups with Arsenal before going on to have even more success at Chelsea.
Giroud won another FA Cup with the club after signing in 2018 and won both the Europa League and Champions League with Chelsea.
David Luiz
David Luiz had two spells with Chelsea either side of a move to Paris Saint-Germain, making 248 appearances and winning three European trophies as well as a league title.
However, his move to Arsenal in 2019 proved less fruitful as he was sent off three times in just 73 matches before departing after two years.
Lassana Diarra
Another Frenchman to appear for both Arsenal and Chelsea, Lassana Diarra made just 43 combined appearances for the two clubs.
Signed by Chelsea as a 20-year-old in 2005, he moved to Arsenal two years later but would last less than five months before he was sold to Portsmouth.
Willian

Willian became a fan favourite during seven years at Stamford Bridge, with 63 goals and 62 assists in 339 appearances.
However, he struggled following a free transfer for Arsenal in 2020, scoring just once in 37 matches before departing the club after a year.
Cesc Fabregas
Cesc Fabregas remains Arsenal’s youngest ever player after scoring in the League Cup aged just 16 years, six months and 28 days old.
He would go on to captain the club before leaving for Barcelona in 2011. Fabregas returned to England with Chelsea three years later and won two league titles in four-and-a-half seasons in West London.
Nicolas Anelka
Prolific French striker Nicolas Anelka was just 17 when he joined Arsenal in 1997 but still scored 28 times and won the double before being sold two years later.
Chelsea would later sign a 28-year-old Anelka in 2008, with the forward winning the golden boot in his first full season and a league title in 2010.
Yossi Benayoun
Chelsea signed Israeli midfielder Yossi Benayoun from Liverpool in 2010 but failed to get the best out of him as he notched just one goal in 24 appearances.
A loan move to Arsenal for the 2011/12 campaign proved more successful, though, as he scored six goals in just two extra matches.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Another player to have differing fortunes at Arsenal and Chelsea, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored 92 goals in 163 appearances for the Gunners.
He would also captain the club for two years before his time at the Emirates Stadium fizzled out and he left for Barcelona in January 2022.
After just six months in Spain he returned to London last summer, signing for Chelsea, but has scored just three goals since.
Emmanuel Petit
World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit starred for both clubs either side of a one-year stint at Barcelona.
Having one a league and cup double during three years with Arsenal, he played 76 times for Chelsea as he ended his career at Stamford Bridge.
Jorginho

The latest player to appear for both clubs, Jorginho completed a move to Arsenal from Chelsea in January.
He went on to become a regular starter as the Gunners narrowly missed out on the title, having previously won four major trophies with Chelsea.
