Chelsea have signed Borussia Dortmund forward Jamie Gittens in a deal worth £51.5m on a seven-year contract.
Talks had been progressing in the US, where both teams had been taking part in the Club World Cup and despite Bayern Munich also being interested, the 20-year-old has agreed a long-term deal at Stamford Bridge.
Dortmund confirmed the transfer had been agreed in Florida on Thursday evening.
The west London club have been looking to strengthen the wide areas following the decision not to take up the option to sign Jadon Sancho permanently.
