Jamie Gittens reaches agreement in principle with Chelsea | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens (20) has reached an agreement in principle to join Chelsea FC, according to a report this Saturday from RMC Sport’s Fabrice Hawkins. The England U21 international is reportedly keen to return to his formative club. The Blues and Gittens have reached an agreement over a long-term seven-year contract that would tie the Dortmund winger at Stamford Bridge until 2032.

French media Sports Zone adds that Gittens is keen on Premier League football. The 20-year-old reportedly told his counsel he would be available to join Chelsea. Gittens would be the second player to join Enzo Maresca’s Conference League winners after Ipswich Town centre-forward Liam Delap. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund will find a compromise over a transfer fee that would allow Gittens to feature for the Premier League side for the Club World Cup.
