Chelsea have made a £30million bid for Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens and are prepared to offer the 20-year-old a seven year contract.
Dortmund have been looking for around £40m for the former Manchester City youth prospect. Indeed, City hold a 10 per cent sell-on clause.
The club are hoping to sign him before Tuesday’s deadline to play in the Club World Cup.
Gittens had a brief spell at Chelsea in his youth career, then Reading and City, before signing for Dortmund.
In August 2022, just days after his 18th birthday, Gittens made his senior debut in the Bundesliga for the Black and Yellow.
