Chelsea Agree Deal to Sign English Winger Gittens From Dortmund
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 3 – Chelsea has made Jamie Gittens their sixth summer signing with a £55 million deal, aiming to strengthen their left wing after Jadon Sancho's loan ended, club officials said.
- On July 3, Borussia Dortmund announced the deal during the Club World Cup in Fort Lauderdale, with Chelsea set to pay around £55 million and sign a seven-year contract.
- Chelsea's need for a right-footed left winger after Sancho's exit prompted their initial £42 million bid, which Dortmund rejected before agreeing to a £55 million deal.
- Gittens, who scored 17 goals in 107 Dortmund appearances, joins Chelsea on a seven-year deal worth around £55 million.
- Chelsea's sixth summer signing, Gittens, joins Delap, Pedro, Estevao, Essugo, and Sarr, ineligible until after the Club World Cup concludes.
- In the long term, Chelsea’s strategic investment in Gittens aims to strengthen their squad for multiple competitions, with Dortmund expected to net around €70.3 million for reinvestment.
