TA: Chelsea and Dortmund reached an agreement on Gittens transfer, but the specific amount of the transfer fee has not been disclosed

June 29 According to Theathletic, Chelsea has reached an agreement with Dortmund on signing Gittens. The two clubs have reached an agreement on the transfer fee, but the specific amount has not been disclosed. The transaction will be officially completed after the player passes the physical examination.

Chelsea's interest in Gittens has been a long time, and the player himself is eager to join Stamford Bridge, which he believes will help him gain an opportunity to enter the English national team roster next year. Gittens's potential transfer is crucial for Dortmund's summer rebuild as the team led by Kovac narrowly finished fourth on the final day of the season and qualified for the Champions League.

In the 2024-25 season, Gittens scored 12 goals and contributed 5 assists in 48 games. This was a breakthrough season after leaving Manchester City's youth training camp, and also attracted the attention of Chelsea and Bayern. Gittens joined Dortmund in 2020 and has played 106 games for the team so far. His contract is valid until 2028. Gittens has played 25 times for England's youth teams at all levels, but has not yet been called up for the adult national team.
