Deal imminent: David Ornstein says Chelsea closing in on signing who's "fully committed" to Blues
Briefly

Chelsea is reportedly in the lead to sign 20-year-old winger Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund this summer. David Ornstein indicates that negotiations are taking place in the USA, with Chelsea hoping to finalize the deal shortly, amid interest from Bayern Munich. Gittens, who had a successful run at Dortmund, scoring 12 goals and providing three assists last season, is now Chelsea's first-choice target for the left-wing position following Jadon Sancho's departure. A 7-year deal is reportedly in place for the talented young Englishman.

Gittens now appears to be the clear first choice target for Chelsea on that left-hand side after the departure of Jadon Sancho this summer. The Blues had Sancho on loan from Manchester United, but decided not to keep him after a slightly underwhelming campaign.
