Chelsea offer €35 million-plus bid to sign Jamie Gittens, Borussia Dortmund keen on selling
Chelsea have reportedly submitted an offer to sign 20-year-old English winger Jamie Gittens from Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund in the summer transfer window.
According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have submitted a bid of over €35 million to sign Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, an update by Ben Jacobs has claimed that the Bundesliga giants are keen on selling the English winger this summer.
The Englishman was an important player for the Bundesliga club last season, and he had 17 goal contributions. There is no doubt that he would be an exceptional acquisition for Chelsea as well. The Blues need more creativity and cutting edge in the final third, and Gittens could be ideal for them. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal across the line.
Chelsea have secured UEFA Champions League qualification for the next season, and they need to improve their squad to do well next season. They will be hoping to fight for major trophies and do well in the Champions League.
The 20-year-old Englishman will add unpredictability to the Chelsea attack. He will look to establish himself as a key player for the club. The opportunity to move to Chelsea could be quite exciting for him, and regular football in the Premier League could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his potential.
It remains to be seen whether Borussia Dortmund are willing to accept the offer from the Blues. Signing him for a fee of around €35 million could prove to be a reasonable investment. He has the ability to justify the investment in the long run. Interestingly, personal terms are no longer an issue for Jamie Gittens.
Chelsea need more quality in the attack
Chelsea have been overly dependent on Cole Palmer in the final third. The English international needs more support, and signing quality attackers this summer will be a priority for them. Mykhailo Mudryk could be set for a lengthy ban because of doping, and Chelsea need to replace him next season. Signing another winger would be ideal for them, with Jamie Gittens emerging as a top target.
Meanwhile, the 20-year-old attacker was quite inconsistent during the second half of the season, and he will need to address that if he wants to start at a big club regularly. He will need to raise his performance levels at Chelsea. The Blues will be hoping to fight for major trophies consistently, and they need someone who can contribute significantly.
