<p>Dortmund's sporting director Sebastien Kehl was quizzed about the Gittens rumours and accepted it is close, with the winger allowed to speak with the Blues. He did insist however, that the deal is not completely done yet.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Kehl told Sky Germany: "We have given Jamie permission to hold talks with another club, which are still ongoing. There are still things to be clarified. Things are moving, but no decision has been made yet. We were aware that the player has a higher market value than&nbsp;what was on the table two weeks ago. We’ve exuded confidence. In the final analysis, we’ll see if we receive adequate compensation."</p>

WHAT KEHL SAID

<p>Chelsea are aiming to compete on all fronts next season by signing another array of attacking players this summer. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-confirm-liam-delap-arrival-ipswich-seeing-off-transfer-competition-from-man-utd/blt258e613836df0ae0#:~:text=Chelsea%20confirm%20%C2%A330m%20Liam,Man%20Utd%20%7C%20Goal.com%20UK" target="_blank">Liam Delap has already arrived as the club's new number nine</a>, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-reach-agreement-sign-joao-pedro-brighton-striker-immediately-join-enzo-maresca-club-world-cup-squad/blt176d5ae9aea3d17c" target="_blank">Brighton's Joao Pedro expected to join Gittens by signing in the coming days</a>.</p>
