Chelsea have opene talks with Borussia Dortmund as they look to secure another new summer signing for Enzo Maresca.
The Blues have spent over £1bn on new signings in recent years and เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย continue their big spending last month by agreeing deals for Sporting Lisbon stars Geovany Quenda and Dario Essugo.
Chelsea are expecte to be one of the busiest teams in this summer’s transfer window, with a new striker and goalkeeper on Maresca’s wishlist.
The west London outfit have also linke with several wingers despite an abundance of attacking talent at the club and are in talks to sign Jamie Gittens from Dortmund.
Chelsea have entere into discussions with the Bundesliga club about a summer deal for Gittens.
The 20-year-old caught the eye of some of the biggest clubs in Europe during an impressive first-half to the season, but he has endure a more difficult time since Niko Kovac took over in January.
Dortmund value Gittens at around €100m just a few months ago but are willing to slash their asking price given the player’s drop-off.
Gittens spent two years in Manchester City’s academy – and some time at Chelsea – before being signe by Borussia Dortmund in 2020.
Reports in Germany claim Gittens has already informe Dortmund of his desire to move on this summer, with the talente winger open to a return to England.
Earlier this year Gittens was tippe for a move to Chelsea’s London rivals Arsenal, who are keen to bolster Mikel Arteta’s attacking options following an injury-plague campaign.
‘I think there’s a good chance we could see Jamie Gittens playing in the Premier League next season,’ ex-Germany defender Markus Babbel told.
‘I don’t think Borussia Dortmund will qualify for the Champions League this season, or even for the Europa League or Conference League.
‘They will have to sell some players this summer and Gittens is the player they’ll be able to sell for the most money – so a move would make sense for all parties.
Given his qualities, he’ll be wanting to play in the Champions League next year which is why Arsenal will have a massive chance of signing him in the summer. He’d be a brilliant addition to Mikel Arteta’s team.
‘Out of the other Premier League clubs linked with Gittens, I’m not sure about Tottenham’s chances of signing him, or even Chelsea’s, as he’ll be wanting to play Champions League football next year, which is why I believe he will leave Dortmund at the end of this season.’
Chelsea have hopes of qualifying for Champions League and winning the Europa Conference League with a handful of games remaining.
They booste their top-five hopes with a narrow victory over Everton on Saturday and face Swedish minnows Djurgardens in the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League.
