Chelsea Close to Signing Jamie Bynoe-Gittens from Borussia Dortmund

Chelsea are close to signing winger Jamie Bynoe-Gittens from Borussia Dortmund. The 19-year-old is seen as a key addition for the new Premier League season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Talks between Chelsea and Dortmund have intensified, and a deal is nearing. Bynoe-Gittens has reportedly agreed to a seven-year contract, and Dortmund seem ready to accept a fee of around €50 million. Chelsea have watched the former Manchester City player for months and are impressed by his creativity.

According to a previous report we published, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens has agreed to personal terms with Chelsea.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The winger had a breakout season in Germany, scoring 12 goals for Dortmund. His performances have put him among England’s brightest young talents and led to comparisons with former Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho. Chelsea’s pursuit is part of a broader strategy to rejuvenate their squad with young, technically-gifted players. The club, under new head coach Enzo Maresca, is determined to build a squad focused on dynamism and youth.

WHAT’S NEXT?

If the deal is finalized, Bynoe-Gittens will join Chelsea’s pre-season preparations immediately. His arrival could provide strong competition for existing wingers like Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudryk. Dortmund, who finished second in last season’s Bundesliga, will need to quickly integrate a replacement ahead of their Champions League campaign. Chelsea’s first Premier League match is scheduled against Crystal Palace, who ended in mid-table but won the FA Cup, and they will hope to have Bynoe-Gittens available for selection.
