Chelsea have launched a new bid for Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens as they look to bolster their squad ahead of the Club World Cup.
The Blues have offered an improved €50million (£42m) fee as they look to scoop the Englishman with just hours remaining of the special transfer deadline day.
Chelsea had previously offered Dortmund £29.5m but saw their bid rejected, with the German side hoping for a fee in the region of £40m.
The Blues want to sign the 20-year-old before Tuesday’s deadline so he can play in the Club World Cup and are prepared to offer a seven-year contract.
