Chelsea has made frequent moves in the transfer market, focusing once again on Dortmund's forward Gittens and Aston Villa's midfielder Morgan Rodgers, striving to inject fresh blood into the team and improve combat effectiveness.

Gettens, 20, has shown extraordinary talent in Dortmund. In the 24-25 season, he played 49 times for Dortmund, scored 12 goals and contributed 4 assists. Chelsea had previously offered a £42 million offer, but Borussia Dortmund refused. Even so, Chelsea did not give up. According to British media London Football, the Blues plan to make another offer and have reached an oral agreement with Gittens. The players are eager to join this summer. Previously, Chelsea's three offers were rejected, and Dortmund insisted on a transfer fee of about 58 million euros, and the two sides were still in difficult negotiations.

At the same time, Chelsea also showed a strong interest in Morgan Rodgers. Rodgers, 22, was a home-based midfielder in England, made 54 appearances for Villa in the 24-25 season, with 14 goals and 14 assists. According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea has been paying attention to him for a long time and has recently started contacting his agent. Although Villa asked Rodgers for as much as £80m and had no intention of selling this summer, Chelsea is still actively seeking breakthroughs. Rodgers is close friends with Chelsea's Cole Palmer, which may be a favorable factor in the transfer.

Chelsea coach Maresca is determined to reshape the team's offensive line. The technical characteristics and tactical styles of Gittens and Rodgers are highly consistent with Chelsea's needs. If Chelsea can successfully sign these two players, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the team's strength and add strong momentum to the new season's Premier League and European competition. However, the transfer market is changing, and Chelsea's path to signing is destined to be full of challenges. Fans are waiting and seeing, looking forward to the team having more exciting operations in the transfer window.
