Chelsea is reportedly approaching a potential £55 million transfer of Borussia Dortmund left winger Jamie Gittens.
Bruce is in more direct discussions about signing the 20-year-old British man, with updates being made this morning from both Fabrizio Romano and from Simon Phillips Via Substack on the official X page.
An important day for Jamie Gittens’ transfer
Phillips expects today to be a crucial day for the Gitens Transfer Saga, and Chelsea appears quietly confident in winning the race for his signature, despite Bayern Munich still appearing to be hiding in the background.
Meanwhile, Romano has posted the following as he provided the latest information on Gaten’s potential moves to Stamford Bridge…
Phillips also claims Dortmund wants Gitens’ total £55 million, so it remains to be seen whether the compromise could be hit there.
Gitens will look like an exciting signature if Chelsea pass through as the West London Giants continue their policy of recruiting top young players from around the world.
How Jamie Gittens strengthens Chelsea
Gittens has good pace, skill and eyes, aiming for goals from a wide range, so it’s easy to see why Chelsea is pursuing him strongly.
As reported by BBC Sport, there is also great uncertainty after Mykhailo Mudryk was given the possibility of a four-year ban on doping claims.
Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho’s departure leaves a gap on the left side of the CFC attack.
Gittens showed great potential in his time in Dortmund, so it appears he’s ready to come in and create his own starting point.
Of course, Chelsea will be a big step up for the Gitens. There is no doubt that Enzo Maresca is under pressure for improving last season.
The Blues returned to the top four and won the Europa Conference League, but fans of the club are hoping for a proper title challenge and a more famous trophy.
