Chelsea had considered signing Gittens in January, and talks are ongoing between the two clubs. Meanwhile, the team is negotiating with Jadon Sancho over personal terms to make his loan deal permanent. This would be a significant boost for manager Enzo Maresca, as Sancho has been an impressive player, scoring five goals in 42 games, including a notable strike in the Conference League final against Real Betis.

Gittens made history by becoming the youngest English player to score in the Champions League, netting against Real Madrid at just 20 years and 75 days old. He has chosen to focus on the Club World Cup instead of participating in the Under-21 Euros. Last season, Gittens scored 12 goals and provided five assists in 48 appearances for Dortmund, making him one of Europe's most promising young talents.

With Gittens, Sancho, and Delap potentially joining the team, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca will have a talented group of players to compete for the title and another European trophy.
