Chelsea set to finalise signing of Gittens
Chelsea are set to finalise the signing of Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund after the German club confirmed the deal.
The England Under-21 winger will cost around £50m and is expected to sign a seven-year contract.
Gittens, who joined Dortmund from Manchester City in 2020, has scored 17 goals and made 14 assists in 107 games for the club.
The Blues tried to complete a deal to sign him last month but were unable to agree a fee.
But negotiations have continued and Gittens, 20, will be a Chelsea player.
“The talks with Chelsea were challenging, but ultimately we are pleased that we can most likely realise our financial ambitions and then have planning security,” said Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl.
“Jamie is an outstanding player who has given us a great deal of pleasure. He now wants to take the next step in his career at Chelsea, and we wish him all the best and much success.”
