There are at least eight clubs interested in signing Jamie Gittens following a decision at Chelsea on his future after January, per reports.
Gittens, signed by the Blues in 2025, has struggled for minutes over the past couple of seasons. He rarely started last term, playing only 16 Premier League games, and he's yet to play in the league this term.
Gittens has in fact featured for only 55 minutes, in the League Cup.
The signing of Morgan Rogers has meant the left-sided attacking spot has been taken, while the likes of Pedro Neto, Estevao and Geovany Quenda have been preferred in attack.
TEAMtalk has revealed Chelsea are willing to let Gittens leave on loan in the January window, hoping to find him regular first-team football after a tough start to the campaign, with injuries not helping.
The Blues are said to insist they see a future for the winger at Stamford Bridge, but for the time being, it appears best for him to go elsewhere.
Gittens will have a number of options for clubs to potentially get ahold of him in the winter.
Four Premier League sides are said to be interested: Leeds, Sunderland, Everton and Crystal Palace.
Interest from the Toffees might dissipate as it's believed that is conditional on the future of Jack Grealish, whose loan is not expected to be cancelled after disciplinary issues.
Elsewhere, a return to Germany, where Gittens previously played with Borussia Dortmund, is an option - RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt are believed to have enquired and continue to monitor the winger.
Serie A sides want Jamie Gittens
The report also states that Serie A side Roma are interested in Gittens, knowing they might struggle to land Real Madrid forward Endrick in January.
Elsewhere, an insider has now revealed Napoli are interested in Gittens, amid their hopes of landing a new winger.
They are said to be closely monitoring the Chelsea man, who has risen towards the top of the list at the Naples club.
Indeed, amid uncertainty over his future at Stamford Bridge, Gittens is seen as a strong fit.
It is now known whether Napoli would want to sign him on loan or on a permanent deal.
