Jamie Gittens may have been playing for Borussia Dortmund in their Club World Cup win over Fluminense on Tuesday, but, if Chelsea have their way, he will be in the Premier League next season.
Chelsea face Flamengo on Friday and, after the return of on-loan Jadon Sancho to Manchester United this summer, manager Enzo Maresca has made no secret a key transfer priority is to sign a winger.
The Italian is keen to add competition for Noni Madueke, Pedro Neto and Tyrique George.
While the Blues are exploring other potential targets after initial bids for the 20-year-old failed, Gittens remains the club's first choice.
