Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea winger Jamie Gittens on a loan deal during the January transfer window. Chelsea are willing to green-light a temporary exit for the £50 million attacker, who has yet to feature in the Premier League this season following an ankle injury. The Blues are keen for the 22-year-old to secure regular playing time while still considering him part of their long-term future.
