Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has revealed 'conversations' have taken place over Jamie Gittens' future.
Chelsea remain keen on Gittens after a failed move before the Club World Cup, having chose not to go beyond a bid of £42million.
They had previously put in a £29.5m bid that was also knocked back by the Bundesliga outfit.
Dortmund Sporting director Kehl is confident the winger will remain 'professional' as speculation continues over his future in Germany.
'We've had one or two conversations with Jamie in the last few days,' Kehl said.
