Chelsea winger Jamie Gittens remains firmly in the club's plans despite ongoing interest from AS Roma, according to journalist Fabrice Hawkins. Posting on X, Hawkins reported that Gittens is expected to stay at Stamford Bridge, as his potential exit is becoming increasingly complicated.

This isn't the first instance of Roma pursuing Gittens, with prior reports from Sky Sports indicating that Chelsea had already ruled out a move for the 22-year-old. Hawkins stated:

“Jamie Gittens is expected to stay at Chelsea despite interest from AS Roma.”
He followed up with details about Chelsea's rejection of an initial loan approach, emphasizing that negotiations for a transfer remain complex.

Gittens, who showcased his talent during his stint at Borussia Dortmund, has struggled to make a significant impact at Chelsea since joining last summer. In the 2025/26 season, he appeared in 27 matches but managed to score only one goal. With the emergence of Morgan Rogers in Chelsea’s attacking lineup, Gittens faces stiff competition for playing time.

Despite Chelsea allowing Alejandro Garnacho to leave, which reduces competition in his position, it seems likely that Gittens will continue to serve as a squad player rather than a regular starter. As the transfer window approaches its deadline at 11 PM, there remains a slim chance that this 'complicated' deal could still materialize, though late drama on Deadline Days is not uncommon.
