The 20-year-old is taking on a jersey that has been worn by Chelsea legends such as Dennis Wise and Didier Drogba. If the England Under-21 international can forge a career anything like those two, he will have proven to be an excellent signing.
DID YOU KNOW?
Before Gittens settled at Dortmund, the Reading-born player spent time in the academies of Reading, Chelsea, and Manchester City. Off the back of scoring 12 goals for the German outfit last season, the 5ft 9in wideman will hope to star for Chelsea this term.
