According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea remain engaged in talks to secure the signing of Jamie Bynoe-Gittens from Borussia Dortmund, despite missing out on goalkeeper Mike Maignan during the brief Club World Cup transfer window.
The 20-year-old English winger, valued at around €50 million, has caught the Blues' eye with his impressive form, including two goals in Dortmund's Bundesliga opener this season and a standout performance in the Champions League.
While the transfer window closes imminently on Tuesday, Chelsea are under no immediate pressure to finalise the deal. Sources close to the club indicate that negotiations with Dortmund are ongoing and could extend beyond the Club World Cup deadline.
The club's interest in Bynoe-Gittens remains strong, with plans to bring him in either now or later this summer, reflecting a long-term strategy rather than a rushed acquisition.
Bynoe-Gittens, who has battled injury setbacks in recent seasons, appears to be flourishing again, prompting Chelsea to prioritise his addition as part of their squad rebuilding.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the timing of the transfer, the Londoners' determination to secure the young winger is clear.
