According to The Telegraph, Chelsea are looking for a fee in excess of £50m. Reports earlier suggested that we might take £40m, but this latest story makes it pretty clear that we (probably) would not.

W And if Arsenal, a club on the rise and off the back of finishing ahead of Chelsea for the third season in a row, want Madueke, why are Chelsea fine to let him go? This is not a deal dictated by finances.

A deal to sign Gittens was struck late last month and Dortmund revealed on Thursday that the young winger was on the cusp of signing for Chelsea, who are reported to have paid an initial £48.5 million ($66.2 million) with a further £3.5 million ($4.8 million) in add-ons.

Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund for a fee of £48.5million with a potential £3.5m in add-ons. The 20-year-old has signed a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge through to 2032, after The Athletic reported that the clubs had reached an agreement in principle last week.

Hope Jamie Gittens and Liam Delap can strike up a good partnership quickly Scott: In a word, underwhelming. His stats are not impressive. I'd rather have went for Marcus Rashford or Alejandro Garnacho who are desperate to get out of Manchester United.
