Chelsea finalize £48.5m deal for Dortmund Star Jamie Gittens

Chelsea have officially secured the services of English winger Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund in a transfer valued at £48.5 million, with an additional £3.5 million potentially payable in performance-related add-ons.

Gittens, 20, has committed to a seven-year contract with the Premier League side, marking another major acquisition in Chelsea’s ongoing summer rebuild.

The talented forward, who previously played for Manchester City’s academy before making the switch to Dortmund in 2020, made a significant impact during his time in Germany. He registered 17 goals and 14 assists across 107 appearances for the Bundesliga outfit.

His arrival at Stamford Bridge adds to Chelsea’s growing list of signings this summer. The club has already added Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, Brighton forward Joao Pedro, Sporting Lisbon’s young midfielder Dario Essugo, and Strasbourg defender Mamadou Sarr to their squad ahead of the new season.
