Chelsea has made significant strides in securing the services of Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens, with both clubs reportedly nearing a transfer agreement. The progress came after representatives from the two clubs engaged in talks during the Club World Cup in the United States, according to sources cited by ESPN.
Details of the potential transfer, including the fee and terms, remain undisclosed, but insiders suggest that Chelsea is optimistic about finalizing the deal before the transfer window closes. Gittens, who has been a key player for Dortmund, has been linked with several Premier League clubs this season, but his move to Stamford Bridge appears to be gaining momentum.
The winger’s potential arrival would bolster Chelsea’s attacking options, especially with key players like Romelu Lukaku and Cole Palmer set for new contracts. Manager Graham Potter is believed to be keen on strengthening the squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League season. The deal, if finalized, would mark another significant transfer for the Blues as they continue to reshape their squad for competitive success.
