Chelsea speeds up recruitment of young talent from Dortmund

Chelsea have officially opened negotiations with Borussia Dortmund to sign Jamie Gittens - a talented winger who is attracting special interest from Arsenal and Liverpool.

Gittens becomes a transfer target of Chelsea.

Despite being just 20, Gittens has made over 100 appearances for Dortmund and has just enjoyed the most explosive season of his career, scoring 12 goals in 48 games. However, in the second half of the season, he has gradually lost his starting place and has only started three times in the Bundesliga since February.

The player born in 2004 trained at the Chelsea and Man City academies, before moving to Germany to play for Dortmund in 2020. This is considered a golden opportunity for English clubs to bring this talent back to the Premier League.

According to The Telegraph , Chelsea are determined to complete this deal before the FIFA Club World Cup kicks off on June 14 in the US - a tournament featuring both Chelsea and Dortmund.

It is worth noting that Gittens is valued at around £50 million, not a large number for teams willing to spend big like "The Blues".

While Arsenal and Liverpool could still make last-minute moves, Chelsea are believed to have the upper hand. Liverpool are currently prioritising a move for Florian Wirtz from Leverkusen, while Arsenal are focused on hunting for a new striker.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are preparing for a busy transfer window - following the £30m signing of Liam Delap from Ipswich. Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho's future at Stamford Bridge remains unclear. If Gittens arrives, competition on both wings will become fierce.
