Chelsea are considering a January loan move for Jamie Gittens as the winger continues to struggle for regular first-team football at Stamford Bridge.
The England Under-21 international has endured a difficult start in west London, with injuries and intense competition for attacking places limiting his opportunities since his arrival from Borussia Dortmund.
Chelsea paid an initial £48.5 million for Gittens in 2025, but the 22-year-old has yet to establish himself as a regular starter. He made 16 Premier League appearances last season and provided two assists.
Roma monitoring Jamie Gittens loan situation
The club is expected to review Gittens’ position once he has returned to full fitness following the international break. A temporary move could provide him with the consistent playing time needed to rebuild his confidence and rediscover his best form.
Roma are understood to be particularly interested after exploring a potential move during the summer. The Italian club continues to monitor developments and could renew its interest if Chelsea make the winger available.
Several Premier League clubs are also expected to follow Gittens’ situation, giving Chelsea a number of possible destinations if they decide that a loan is the best course of action.
Despite considering a temporary departure, Chelsea still regard Gittens as an important long-term prospect and have no intention of sanctioning a permanent transfer.
A successful loan spell would allow the winger to gain regular minutes before returning to Stamford Bridge better prepared to compete for a starting position.
