Leeds United want to bring Jamie Gittens on loan in January transfer

Leeds United have identified Chelsea winger Jamie Gittens as a prime loan target ahead of the January transfer window. Chelsea are reportedly willing to sanction a temporary exit for the 22-year-old, whom they signed from Borussia Dortmund for £50 million in July 2025, provided he secures regular first-team football. Gittens has yet to play a single Premier League minute this season while recovering from an ankle injury.

Leeds manager Daniel Farke is seeking attacking reinforcements due to injuries, and the club believes they can offer guaranteed playing time. However, the Championship side faces strong competition, with Roma, RB Leipzig, and Eintracht Frankfurt all reportedly making enquiries regarding the England Under-21 international.
