Dortmund announce Jamie Gittens exit for Chelsea
Briefly

Chelsea has finalized a deal to acquire Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund for £55 million, securing him on a seven-year contract. The agreement was reached while both clubs were competing in the Club World Cup in the United States. Gittens, who joined Dortmund in 2020 from Manchester City, made 107 appearances, netting 17 goals, including a standout season last year with 12 goals in 48 matches. His move comes amid Chelsea's strategy to bolster their left wing after deciding against making a loan deal for Jadon Sancho permanent.
Jamie Gittens's career is an example of the development of top talents at Borussia. We discovered Jamie very early, practically signed him for free, continuously developed him in our youth performance centre, and also offered him playing time at the very highest level with the first team. Jamie has repaid the trust placed in him with commitment, performance, and goals.
Gittens joined Dortmund as a youth player in 2020 from Manchester City, making his senior debut in 2022, and has made 107 appearances for the German side in all competitions, scoring 17 goals.
