Chelsea are in the market for a new winger as Enzo Maresca looks to strengthen his wide areas.
The Blues decided not to extend Jadon Sancho’s loan spell at the club and have been left thin in the wide players department since his departure.
More importantly, Maresca all but confirmed Chelsea’s plans to sign a new winger earlier this week by saying, “We have Noni, Pedro and Ty only as the proper wingers so something for sure is going to happen. When the transfer window is open, for sure, we can do something.”
Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens and even had a couple of bids turned down for the English international in the mini transfer window.
Maresca’s team have now returned to the table to finalise a deal for Gittens as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.
Arsenal have also been linked with Gittens, but if Chelsea and Dortmund can settle on a fee, it looks like the Englishman will be heading to Stamford Bridge.

According to Fabrizio Romano, who recently gave an update on Gittens’ situation on X, the player is only considering Chelsea and the Blues remain in talks with Dortmund over a deal.
It is positive news for Maresca, but the Chelsea manager will have to make do with just Madueke, Neto and George at the Club World Cup.
