Jamie Gittens to Chelsea simply appears like a kind of transfers that’s destined to occur.
Each high journalist and reporter has put Gittens excessive up on our winger shortlist this summer season, and a few are even reporting superior talks now.
SPTC sources have heard that talks are taking place for Gittens, and he’s excessive on the shortlist.
Alex Criminal of talkSPORT reported yesterday that Chelsea have been advancing in talks to signal Gittens, and his price could be round £35m.
Journalist Graeme Bailey adopted that up reporting that Chelsea are frontrunners to get the deal achieved to signal Gittens this summer season.
“There have been conversations,”
Bailey instructed TBR Soccer.
“Gittens needs to come back again to the Premier League – he’s prepared now. So it’s an actual risk.”
“There have been talks about him not too long ago, and it’s been progressing in latest weeks. He might very properly be the one.”
I do know these aren’t the 2 greatest sources, however there’s a whole lot of noise now on Gittens to Chelsea and to me, it simply appears like it’s destined to occur.
I’ve been saying for some time that I nonetheless foresee one thing taking place with Jadon Sancho and Dortmund – Chelsea might signal and promote him this summer season. Carney Chukwuemeka is needed on a everlasting now by Dortmund, so that is what I see as a possible commerce alternative for Chelsea, they usually do clearly like Jamie Gittens.
He does have some first rate knowledge…
In data supplied by DataMB, in comparison with U21 wingers within the Prime 5 Leagues, nobody has extra dribbles per 100 touches (34.7) or key passes per 100 touches (3.1) than Gittens. He additionally ranks second in targets per 100 touches (1.44).
I feel he seems like an thrilling participant for certain, and he’ll solely flip 21 in August.
However I’m removed from satisfied that he would actually enhance what we have now or elevate us proper now. He has the potential to, for certain, however I’d see him as a giant threat. He’s nonetheless a uncooked participant and he doesn’t but present wherever close to sufficient targets and assists. I do assume his fundamentals are good although.
I watched him dwell this season at an England U21 recreation and to me he seemed like a younger Raheem Sterling when it comes to how he performed. Sterling was once fairly good, so I assume this can be a praise. However Sterling was and all the time has been a fairly irritating participant at instances too and was up and down with kind, and I may also foresee Gittens being a bit like that.
I assume this type of signing of potential moderately than confirmed sums up our latest recruitment beneath our house owners and sporting administrators.
What do you all assume?
