AS Roma eye Chelsea's Jamie Gittens to bolster left wing

After finishing third in Serie A last season with 73 points (23 wins, 4 draws, 11 losses), AS Roma are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new campaign. According to Corriere dello Sport, the Giallorossi have set their sights on Chelsea winger Jamie Gittens.

Who is Jamie Gittens?

Gittens, 21, joined Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund for €56 million last summer but was hampered by injuries, managing just 495 minutes in the Premier League. With Xabi Alonso's arrival and interest in Kerim Alajbegović, he could be available on loan.

Why Gittens could be the right fit for Roma

With Antonio Nusa valued at over €60 million, Roma are seeking a more affordable option. Despite his injury troubles, Gittens has talent and could be a low-cost addition, especially if he arrives on loan. The team finished last season with 59 goals scored and 31 conceded, highlighting the need for attacking reinforcements.

What's next for Roma?

With the season starting in a month, Roma must act quickly. After a 2-0 win over Verona in their last game (24 May 2026), the Giallorossi want to maintain their winning form (five consecutive victories) and aim to close the 14-point gap to Inter.
