Chelsea are prepared to consider loaning out Jamie Gittens during the January transfer window

Chelsea are prepared to consider loaning out Jamie Gittens during the January transfer window. The winger continues to struggle for regular opportunities at Stamford Bridge. Gittens attracted considerable attention during his time at Borussia Dortmund, and Chelsea invested an initial £48.5 million to secure his services in 2025.

However, the 22-year-old has struggled to make the desired impact in English football, with his injury problems disrupting his progress and the considerable competition for attacking positions making it difficult for him to secure consistent minutes. He managed only 16 Premier League appearances last season, registering two assists without establishing himself as a regular starter.

Chelsea believe regular playing time could be crucial to helping the winger fulfil his considerable potential and are expected to reassess his situation once he returns to full fitness following the international break. Roma are particularly interested in securing his services after exploring a potential move during the summer transfer window. The Italian outfit could revive their interest if Chelsea decide to make the winger available. Several Premier League clubs are also expected to monitor his situation.

Despite considering a temporary exit, Chelsea have not given up on Gittens and continue to view him as an important long-term prospect with no intention of sanctioning a permanent departure. A successful loan spell could therefore benefit all parties, allowing the youngster to regain confidence and return to Chelsea better equipped to compete for a regular starting position.
