Sources update on Jamie Gittens' Chelsea future in new twist

Chelsea remain committed to Gittens' long-term future despite injury struggles, but will review a potential January loan move before deciding whether to let him leave temporarily.

Chelsea sources have told Football Insider that the club still believes in Jamie Gittens' future at Stamford Bridge, despite the 22-year-old winger's difficult start since arriving from Borussia Dortmund for £48 million in 2025. Gittens has yet to make a Premier League appearance this season and managed just 16 league outings last term, with injury issues and Chelsea's strong depth in wide areas limiting his opportunities.

Several Premier League clubs are interested in signing Gittens on loan in January, and Roma have also expressed clear interest after showing admiration in the summer. However, Chelsea are reluctant to sanction a departure and plan to review his involvement ahead of the January window before deciding whether to allow a temporary exit.

The club remains keen to ensure the England U21 international develops as expected over the coming years.
