Chelsea are reportedly looking to improve their attacking unit by signing of Jamie Gittens from Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.

According to a report by Sky Sports, Chelsea have submitted an offer of around €35 million for Jamie Gittens, and Borussia Dortmund have decided to turn it down. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an improved offer to the player. The 20-year-old is highly rated across Europe, and he has a bright future. He could develop into a key player for Chelsea in future.

Gittens had 17 goal contributions with the German club last season, and he has all the tools to succeed in the Premier League. He will add some much-needed pace, flair and goals to the Chelsea attack. The Blues have secured Champions League qualification for the next season, and they need to improve the squad if they want to do well in the European competition. Signing quality attackers will be a priority for them. They have been overly dependent on Cole Palmer.

The England International needs more support in the attack, and players like Gittens would be solid acquisitions.

The opportunity to move to the Premier League can be quite exciting for the players as well. It would be a huge step up in his career, and he would get to test himself at a high level. Regular football in England could help him improve further and fulfil his potential.

Chelsea learn asking price

Chelsea have the resources to offer more money for the player, and it will be interesting to see if they are willing to meet the demands of the German club.

Dortmund are under no pressure to sell the player, and they will not want to lose him for cheap. They will look to recoup as much as possible for the player in the coming weeks.

The report from Sky Sports claims that they will hold out for a fee of around €50-60 million to sell the player. Even though the asking price is quite steep, the young attacker has the potential to justify the investment in future. Chelsea should look to get the deal across the line in the coming weeks.
