The acquisition of a right-footed winger was regarded as one of Chelsea’s pressing priorities heading into the summer transfer window, and the Blues have opted for potential in Jamie Gittens.
The Borussia Dortmund starlet enjoyed a breakout campaign in the Bundesliga last time out, starring under Nuri Sahin while the team faltered as a collective. Niko Kovač was less willing to let the 20-year-old spread his wings after his mid-season arrival, with Gittens’s starts limited during last campaign’s conclusion.
The winger boasts the electricity of a potential superstar and will be expected to deliver in west London from the get-go, with the Blues reportedly splurging an initial £48.5 million ($66.2 million) with a further £3.5 million ($4.8 million) in add-ons to bring the winger to Stamford Bridge.
Gittens may not yet be the finished article, but he’s a name that young supporters in particular may fancy getting on the backs of their slick new strips for 2025–26. But what number could the Englishman wear at his new home?
