Chelsea make Jamie Gittens decision as two more deals agreed before transfer deadline

Standard Sport understands Roma were keen on signing Gittens on a season-long loan deal, but the Blues have not made the winger available for a temporary transfer.

The 22-year-old joined from Borussia Dortmund last summer and endured an injury-hit debut campaign in west London, but looked strong in pre-season and made a substitute appearance against Luton Town in the Carabao Cup on Thursday.

Getting players out of the door remains a priority for the Blues before before the summer window closes for business at 11pm BST on Tuesday night (September 1) as they look to trim down the first team squad.

Marc Guiu has been linked with a move to Napoli, while David Datro Fofana and Caleb Wiley have become the latest players to leave Chelsea.

Standard Sport understands that striker Fofana has now sealed a move to Swiss side Servette FC, and left-back Wiley has joined Preston.

Fofana’s is a permanent transfer worth an initial €2.5million (£2.1m) plus a further €1m (£856,000) in add-ons, while Wiley heads back to the Championship on a season-long loan.
