Chelsea is currently in the process of finalizing a deal to sign a player who has also been on Arsenal's radar.
With the Club World Cup on the horizon, Chelsea is eager to secure their squad for the upcoming FIFA tournament in the United States.
Despite already securing the services of Liam Delap, Chelsea is not slowing down in the transfer market and is expected to complete more business imminently.
Chelsea has made a significant bid in an attempt to sign a player who was also being pursued by Arsenal.
Owner Todd Boehly is once again investing heavily in the team, with the goal of strengthening the squad for the upcoming season.
Following their qualification for the Champions League, Chelsea understands the need to enhance the quality of their squad, with a new goalkeeper and other reinforcements likely to arrive this summer.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that Chelsea has made a substantial offer to Jamie Gittens, a player who has been a target for Arsenal as well.
The bid from Chelsea is reportedly worth €50 million, a significant increase from their previous offer which was turned down.
Chelsea is aiming to finalize the deal today, but negotiations may continue beyond the deadline if necessary.
With Arsenal seemingly falling behind in the race to sign Gittens, Chelsea could have a clear path to secure the player's services for the upcoming season.
Gittens, who is valued at €50 million according to Transfermarkt, is a highly sought-after talent in the transfer market.
