Despite having a hefty number of wingers in their squad, Chelsea’s desire to bring in more and more talent does not seem to reach an end. The club is still focused on its vision of bringing more and more young dynamos to their side.

Following a stellar 5-0 win against the fourth-division side Barrow in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, they now gear up to take on Brighton and Hove Albion in their next Premier League showdown.

Chelsea and Arsenal keeping close eyes on Jamie Bynoe Gittens

According to a report by the news outlet Give Me Sport, Chelsea and Arsenal are keeping a close eye on the English footballer Jamie Bynoe Gittens. The left-winger is showing some really good form with his current club Borussia Dortmund and could arise as a prominent commodity when the trading channel opens again.

The 20-year-old, currently earning approximately £50,000 per week, transferred from Manchester City to Germany in 2020. After patiently awaiting his opportunity, he is now making significant strides with Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund. With four goals already this season, his game-changing potential is beginning to shine through.

Should Chelsea not secure Victor Osimhen’s deal next season, Gittens may become a top target for the Todd Bohely-led consortium. It remains unclear whether the young talent will be up for sale next season. Nevertheless, reports indicate that Gittens has expressed full confidence in Dortmund’s system, renowned for providing ample opportunities to rising young stars.

Considering his current form, it is pretty clear that the London-born will likely trigger a huge bidding war if he intends to head back home to continue his professional football stint. With many players on their radar, it is likely to see who will make it to the Stamford Bridge next season.
