Chelsea officially announced rookie Jamie Gittens from Dortmund. |
The 20 -year -old admitted that he had talked to two players of the Blues, who wanted him to move to Stamford Bridge.

Cole told me to come here, Liam too, they were eager to want me to go to Stamford Bridge.”
Gittens had time to play for Man City before moving to Germany. He added: “I thought I had left England when I was a boy, but I returned to a man. Before coming to Dortmund, I lived alone in an apartment in Manchester, I lived away from my family since the age of 14. Since then, I have grown more.
I went to Germany during the blockade of Covid-19, during the first one and a half years, no football match took place, only practicing. After that I was injured, it took me two years to regain the best. The time of injury is very difficult, but you study a lot at those difficult stages, and then, everything becomes quite smooth.
It was a lot of Facetime calls with my mother, my father and my sister. Playing with friends on PlayStation, which makes me better and more resilient before the challenges when living alone. It taught me a lot about how to be patient and how to continue working without being elegant. ”
