Bayer Leverkusen have reportedly lined-up a replacement for Kai Havertz.

Chelsea are hoping to sign the 21-year-old playmaker this summer and have begun negotiations with the Bundesliga club.

With Havertz keen on a move to Stamford Bridge, Peter Bosz is resigned to losing his star man and has started looking for a replacement.

Sky Sports Deutschland reports Roma striker Patrik Schick is one such target.

The Czech Republic striker, who spent last season at RB Leipzig, would cost £22.5m.

Leipzig are keen to retain the 24-year-old, meaning a bidding war could ensue between the two German clubs.
