After the German club confirmed a deal had been reached, Chelsea are expected to complete the signing of Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens.
The 20-year-old England Under-21 player will cost £48.5m plus £3.5m in add-ons.
The clubs met in Fort Lauderdale to discuss the transfer, which is taking place simultaneously in the United States for the Club World Cup.
Dortmund claim that their contract terms are still being worked out, but Gittens and Chelsea already signed a seven-year deal in June.
“Jamie is a fantastic player who has enriched our lives.” We wish him the best of luck and success as he enters the next phase of his Chelsea career.
Gittens, who left Manchester City for Dortmund in 2020, has a total of 107 goals and assists.
He wouldn’t be able to play for the Blues until after the Club World Cup.
This summer, Chelsea has already signed Strasbourg defender Mamadou Sarr, Brighton forward Joao Pedro, and midfielder Dario Essugo.
