Chelsea agree deal with Borussia Dortmund for Man United target Jamie Bynoe-Gittens | OneFootball

Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Manchester United target, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, from Borussia Dortmund.

The Red Devils have been looking at ways to improve their attack all summer and one name who popped up on the radar was English winger Gittens.

The youngster has impressed in the Bundesliga, scoring 12 goals in 49 games for the German giants.

It was reported in the winter that United were looking to beat Liverpool and Chelsea to the signing of the 20 year old.

The player was also highlighted as a potential option to replace Antony at Old Trafford but it appears that Gittens will not be a Man United player this year.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have finally found an agreement over a deal for the winger.

He posted on his X account that, “Jamie Bynoe-Gittens to Chelsea, here we go! Deal agreed club to club with Borussia Dortmund.”

The Englishman has agreed to a contract that will run until 2032 and reportedly only ever wanted to sign for Chelsea.

The medical is understood to have taken place last night for the player.

This is not the first time that the Londoners have gazumped United in the transfer market lately as they stole away Geovany Quenda from Sporting CP when Ruben Amorim’s side looked like clear favourites to do a deal.

What’s more, United also missed out on Liam Delap who chose Chelsea over the Mancunian club earlier this summer.

The deal for Gittens will also be interesting for United for another reason. Chelsea have been one of the clubs most seriously linked with a move for Alejandro Garnacho. Therefore, it is yet to be seen whether this transfer will have put to bed any potential interest the Stamford Bridge side have in doing a deal for the Argentinian later in the window.
