Chelsea Close in on Jamie Bynoe-Gittens Transfer from Borussia Dortmund

Chelsea are on the verge of signing Jamie Bynoe-Gittens from Borussia Dortmund. The young winger has agreed to a long-term contract with the club. The deal is almost finalized after direct talks between the two clubs, despite interest from Bayern Munich.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Chelsea held discussions with Borussia Dortmund on Monday to speed up the deal for Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. The 20-year-old has already agreed to a seven-year contract, keeping him at Chelsea until 2032. Dortmund demanded a €65 million transfer fee, and Chelsea are close to meeting their demands. Bynoe-Gittens is keen on the move and is expected to be Chelsea’s starting left-winger next season.

According to a previous report we published, Bynoe-Gittens agreed to a seven-year contract with Chelsea.

CHELSEA’S SUMMER REBUILD CONTINUES

The potential signing follows Chelsea’s acquisition of several new players this summer, such as Liam Delap, Willian Estevao, Dario Essugo, and Mamadou Sarr. New manager Enzo Maresca aims to infuse more youth and energy into the squad. Bynoe-Gittens, an England youth international, has shown promise in the Bundesliga and is viewed as a high-potential player. Last season, he played a significant role for Dortmund, contributing with goals, assists, and lively performances from the wing.

Chelsea finished last season in fourth place in the Premier League, securing a Champions League spot, and are now aiming to challenge for a higher finish next campaign.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR CHELSEA AND BYNOE-GITTENS?

Once the transfer is finalized, Bynoe-Gittens is anticipated to join Chelsea for preseason and immediately compete for a starting spot. The deal may be announced in the coming days if the final details are agreed upon. Chelsea’s first fixture of the 2025-26 Premier League season is against Crystal Palace at home, who won last season’s FA Cup against Manchester City. Securing Bynoe-Gittens would boost Chelsea’s chances of closing the gap on the teams above them and pushing for a top-four finish under their new manager.
