Chelsea have reached an agreement on personal terms with Borussia Dortmund's promising winger Jamie Gittens, according to reports from RMC. The London club is now racing against time to finalize the €60million (£50.5m) transfer before the upcoming Club World Cup tournament begins this month.
The 20-year-old talent, who left Manchester City's academy system nearly five years ago to join the German outfit, has been impressive during his time in the Bundesliga. Last season, Gittens made 48 appearances for Dortmund, contributing 12 goals and providing five assists across all competitions.
Sources indicate that Gittens has a €60million release clause in his current contract with Borussia Dortmund. Chelsea must complete the transfer by 7pm on Tuesday before the transfer window temporarily closes until June 16.
Premier League Return Beckons
The young winger is widely expected to make a return to the Premier League next season, with Arsenal also reportedly showing interest in securing his services. However, Chelsea appear to have moved ahead in the race by agreeing personal terms with the player.
Gittens' potential arrival at Stamford Bridge would add further depth to Chelsea's attacking options as they prepare for both domestic and international competitions, including the upcoming Club World Cup.
The Blues' management seems determined to strengthen their squad with young talent, continuing their recent transfer strategy of investing in promising players with high potential.
