To bolster their left side, Chelsea are eager to sign young, gifted players, and left winger Gittens is at the top of their list of potential additions.
As they prepare to make a serious run for the Premier League title next season, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are also preparing for a busy summer transfer window, with a particular emphasis on their forward department.
Arsenal’s first priority is to sign a center forward, but they also want to acquire Gittens to strengthen their left wing position.
Enzo Maresca’s team were reportedly in the lead to sign the former Manchester City winger.
However, according Fussball Transfers as reported by Inside Futbol, Arsenal are “a step ahead” of Chelsea in the competition to sign Gittens.
Gittens is said to be prepared to leave Dortmund, where he has a contract through the end of 2028.
