Chelsea’s prolonged effort to sign Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund was finally rewarded on Saturday as they sealed the England Under-21 winger’s arrival for an initial fee of £48. 5m.
The 20-year-old Englishman had agreed a seven-year contract with Chelsea in June.
The arrival of Gittens is good news for Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, who has had on-loan Jadon Sancho return to Manchester United this summer and made no secret of the fact a transfer priority for him was to sign a winger.
The Italian has been keen to add competition for Noni Madueke, Pedro Neto and Tyrique George.
Gittens remained the club’s first-choice target this transfer window despite the Blues exploring other potential moves after initial bids for him failed before the start of the Club World Cup.
The 20-year-old joins an already well-stocked attacking line-up including Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku, Marc Guiu – who generally play centrally – as well as wingers Neto, Madueke and George.
“It might feel as though Chelsea are almost doing deals just for the sake of it, but there is a specific plan,” said BBC Sport football news reporter Nizaar Kinsella.
“Gittens will come in as a left winger and replace Jadon Sancho after his loan spell from Manchester United was not made permanent. It’s also worth noting Mykhailo Mudryk remains provisionally suspended for a failed drugs test. “
Gittens is another exciting youth prospect that Borussia Dortmund have nurtured into a star player.
Dortmund confirmed a deal had been agreed with Chelsea on Thursday and he becomes the latest signing for the Blues with strong Manchester City links – joining the likes of Delap, Palmer and manager Maresca at Stamford Bridge.
“He can become the next [Jadon] Sancho, Erling Haaland or [Jude] Bellingham,” former Dortmund striker Karl-Heinz Riedle said in November.
‘Gittens has been a long-term target for Chelsea’
It is not Gittens’ first spell at Chelsea.
He spent a brief period on the books at the Blues’ academy before turning them down to continue his development at his hometown club Reading.
After a two-year stint in Manchester City’s youth set-up Gittens made the move to Borussia Dortmund in 2020, making his senior debut two years later.
He caught the attention of several clubs after a breakthrough 2024-25 season in which he scored eight goals in 32 Bundesliga appearances.
“He has no fear. For me, he is one of the best players one-against-one I have ever seen, to be honest. He will be a really good player,” said Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi.
Despite a strong start to last season, Gittens fell out of favour at Dortmund after the arrival of new manager Niko Kovac in February.
“Gittens has been a long-term target for Chelsea. They were looking at him in January, but that wasn’t seen as viable,” Kinsella added.

A rapid, right-footed left winger, Gittens’ arrival fills the void left by Sancho’s departure after Chelsea opted not to sign him on a permanent basis.
Speaking earlier in the summer, Maresca said: “Jadon is not with us so for sure that is a position we need to do something.
“We have Noni, Pedro and Ty only as the proper wingers so something for sure is going to happen. When the transfer window is open, for sure, we can do something. “
He also fits the recruitment profile set by co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart – a young and adaptable winger on a long-term contract, with a potentially high resale value.
“They are looking to get more than one option in every position as the squad will need to be stronger because of the Champions League pressures,” Kinsella added.
“The squad will be quite well balanced now. The question is will Gittens and Delap hit the round running? They are still young players, so there are question marks. “
Palmer, Romeo Lavia and summer signing from Ipswich Delap were all part of City’s Under-21s when Maresca was in charge, while Tosin Adarabioyo is another to have come through that academy.
Chelsea boss Maresca is also an admirer of Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, who failed to break through at City, while the club tried to sign City full-back Nico O’Reilly in January.
“Gittens is a young English player with that Manchester City link again, so he can play that style of football,” Kinsella said.
How can Chelsea afford to keep spending?
Chelsea have already assembled a big squad, with a value heading north of £1. 4bn.
By buying younger players on lower wages and spreading the payments over long-term contracts, Chelsea’s strategy is to unearth new stars and sell on unwanted talent for a profit.
But further additions may be determined by the Premier League’s response to the sale of their women’s team to parent company BlueCo for £198. 7m – a process that put the wider business into profit.
“If this is accepted by the Premier League, then Chelsea would have significant spending flexibility and another £200m is a possibility,” football finance expert Kieran Maguire told BBC Sport earlier this month.
“If it is excluded, then things will be far more challenging and they may have to sell before buying. “
Chelsea’s finances have been bolstered by qualifying for next season’s Champions League, while they are set to receive more than £50m for taking part in the expanded Club World Cup.
However, their ability to register new players for European competition next season may be affected by Uefa’s financial rules, which are different from the Premier League’s PSR rules.
Delacroix produced a stunning late surge under jockey Ryan Moore to claim a dramatic victory in the Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown.
Moore led Delacroix from the back of the six-horse field to edge past Ombudsman on the line and deny William Buick a 2,000th British winner.
Victory was a third in succession in the Sandown feature race for trainer Aidan O’Brien and ninth in total.
It was also redemption for Delacroix, who was sent off favourite in last month’s Epsom Derby but was never in contention, finishing ninth.
“It wasn’t the first or the second or the third plan. He began OK but nobody really wanted to make the running and there were three of us in a line that came out,” Moore told ITV Racing.
“Me and William [Buick] wanted the same position and I had to give way.
“It was a steady run race for that class of horse, but this horse has a real good turn of foot and that made the difference. “
The United Kingdom has announced it is formally restoring diplomatic ties with Syria as British Foreign Secretary David Lammy travelled to the capital Damascus to meet with interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa.
Al-Sharaa received Lammy on Saturday alongside Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani, according to photos of the meeting released by the presidency.
“After over a decade of conflict, there is renewed hope for the Syrian people,” Lammy said in a statement released by his office, noting that the visit was the first by a British minister to Syria in 14 years.
“The UK is re-establishing diplomatic relations because it is in our interests to support the new government to deliver their commitment to build a stable, more secure and prosperous future for all Syrians,” he said.
Syria has been improving relations with Western countries after longtime President Bashar al-Assad was removed from power in December 2024 in an offensive led by al-Sharaa’s Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) armed group.
In April, the British government lifted sanctions against a dozen Syrian entities, including government departments and media outlets, to help the country rebuild after al-Assad’s fall.
Weeks earlier, the UK had dropped sanctions against two dozen Syrian businesses, mostly banks and oil companies.
On Monday, United States President Donald Trump signed an executive order to dismantle a web of sanctions against Syria that had crippled the country’s economy under al-Assad.
In a statement posted on X, al-Shaibani – the Syrian foreign minister – welcomed Trump’s decision, saying it would “open the door of long-awaited reconstruction and development”.
“It will lift the obstacle against economic recovery and open the country to the international community,” he said.
