Chelsea are reportedly prepared to let Jamie Gittens leave on loan in January – just 18 months after signing him for £48.5m.
According to Football Insider, the Blues will review the winger’s situation ahead of the transfer window and could sanction a temporary move for the second half of the season.
Gittens, 22, has been hampered by injuries this term and is yet to make a Premier League appearance under head coach Xabi Alonso, with strong competition for places in wide areas.
The Blues were beaten 1-0 at Sunderland on Sunday, with Alonso admitting afterwards that his side had lacked creativity and quality in the final third.
Roma were keen on him in the summer and are said to remain interested, while several Premier League clubs are also expected to make enquiries if Chelsea open the door.
However, Chelsea apparently still see the former England youth international as part of their long-term plans and have no intention of selling him permanently.
Gittens, who came through the academies at Reading and Manchester City, joined from Borussia Dortmund in July 2025 on a seven-year contract. He made 16 Premier League appearances last season, providing two assists.
He is expected to be back to full fitness after the international break.
