£83m Chelsea target can see himself playing in the Premier League but not next summer

Chelsea are interested in signing another winger who wants to play in the Premier League one day.

Enzo Maresca is not currently lacking options on the flank. Pedro Neto, Noni Madueke, Jadon Sancho and Mykhailo Mudryk can all play out wide.

Estevao Willian will also be joining Chelsea next year when he turns 18. Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira recently infuriated his club’s supporters after substituting Estevao in one game.

Despite all of the options that Chelsea already have, though, it looks like they could try to bring in another winger.

Jamie Gittens not thinking about Chelsea move yet

In October, it was claimed that Chelsea are interested in signing Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund.

According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Blues still retain an interest in the 20-year-old.

However, signing Gittens next summer will not be easy. Plettenberg has reported that while Gittens does want to play in the Premier League one day, he is not planning to leave Dortmund at the end of the season.

Plettenberg has also shared that the English youngster could cost €100m (£82.8m).

How does Jamie Gittens compare to Mykhailo Mudryk?

If Chelsea do go on to sign Gittens, then he would probably replace Mudryk, with the Dortmund star playing on the left this season.

Gittens has been in fine form for the German club, scoring four goals and providing three assists in 12 Bundesliga appearances.

Mudryk, in contrast, is yet to score a goal or set one up in the Premier League, though he has only made one start under Enzo Maresca and has played fewer minutes than Gittens.

Mudryk has done well in the Conference League, netting three times in the competition, but Gittens is thriving in a much tougher tournament. He has scored four times in the Champions League.

The fact that Mudryk has shown signs of life in the Conference League, though, probably means Chelsea do not have to go out and spend £83m on another left winger, especially when they also have Sancho and Neto.
