Chelsea agree deal for Dortmund's Gittens
Jamie Gittens is set to join Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund (LLUIS GENE) Chelsea are set to add England under-21 international winger Jamie Gittens to their forward line after agreeing a deal with Borussia Dortmund, according to reports on Saturday. Sky Sports said an agreement has been reached between the clubs, who are both competing at the Club World Cup in the United States. Advertisement The Blues will reportedly pay up to 65 million euros (£55 million, $76 million) for the 20-year-old, who had been in Chelsea's academy as a youth player. Gittens eventually moved to Manchester City's academy before signing for Dortmund in 2022. He made 107 appearances for the German giants, scoring 17 goals, 12 of which came in the Bundesliga and Champions League last season. Chelsea were in the market to bolster their wide options after refusing the chance to sign Manchester United's Jadon Sancho on a permanent deal after his loan spell at Stamford Bridge. Mykhailo Mudryk also remains provisionally suspended by the English Football Association after failing a drugs test.

Always thinking about the present, about the next game ... We're very happy, we're pleased to have qualified, and as I said, we have to keep dreaming.' — Palmeiras defender Bruno Fuchs. "We leave with our head held high. We faced teams of a high level, the highest level in soccer. We were able to represent well Botafogo, Botafogo's shirt. Of course, we wanted to go further and we prepared to go further, but things don't always go the way we want them to.' — Botafogo defender Vitinho. ___ AP soccer:
