  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Gittens has caught the eye of Stamford Bridge chiefs after he scored 12 goals and assisted five in the 2024-25 season for the Bundesliga club. He played for the Blues in his youth and looks set to return to English football.

  Chelsea have already splashed the cash this summer, signing Liam Delap from Ipswich Town for £30m and adding Mamadou Sarr from Strasbourg. Both players are available to play in the Club World Cup. It is being widely reported they have upped their bid for Gittens to £42m and want to agree a deal with Dortmund as soon as possible.
