Jamie Gitten has changed his name since he broke into the European scene, but he has not shed his “next Jadon Sancho” day.
Chelsea intended the English winger as a constant replacement for Sancho after deciding against the signing of the latter.

The blues took Borussia Dortmund about their latest Breakout England star in April in a contract for a decade in the creation.
Gitten is under contract in Dortmund by 2028 and the German Club estimates him for £ 35 million, Talksport understands.
He was the youngest English player who wore the Champions League against Real Madrid at the age of 20 and 75 days in October.
However, the wing player has been trying to build at this exhibition since the turn of the year after falling out under Niko Kovac.
He has not played a full 90 since January and only seen in the last two games of Dortmund this season in eight minutes.
A step after Chelsea would be an opportunity to re -sparkle his assets, with Enzo Maresca being looking for a new broad player.
The gods were adequately attacked after the blues had rejected the opportunity to sign the borrower Sancho because of a permanent contract.
The latter has already been followed in the footsteps of the Manchester United Misfit from the Man City Academy to Borussia Dortmund.
The difference this time is that the gods were previously in the books as a teenager in Chelsea before they had rejected them.
The Starlet, born in London, started his youth career with his local side Caversham Trents, where his talent immediately seemed.

His former coach Martyn Beney told the sun: “A month after his training with us:” Christ, this boy has some serious skills “.
“His dribble was incredible, even when six years old.
“Jamie was a shy boy behind the scenes with a really nice, sporty family, but they didn’t push him.
“They said they wanted him to be trained in a way in which he can enjoy it, learn a few things on the way and, of course, develop. That is exactly what we did.
“We quickly worked that he was a scorer and he achieved a ridiculous number of goals.
“But he was happy to play somewhere. Sometimes he would even go into the goal and he wasn’t bad.”

The Gitten ended up in reading, but shortly Chelsea called an offer to continue his development in Cobham.
He told The Secret Scout in 2020: “I went to read and was also a bit at Chelsea.
“I was at the level under 9, where I had to choose between reading and Chelsea. I selected reading and stayed there until under 14 years.”
Then there was another decision in which both city and arsenal competed for his signature – but Sancho’s influence played his role again.
Gitten added: “It was an easy decision.
“I could have gone to Arsenal, but I chose City because they produced players like Brahim Diaz and Jadon Sancho at the time.”

It would not surprise anyone that Gittens would decrease his idol after promotion in Dortmund after a two -year spell in Manchester.
When he arrived in Germany five years ago, he said: “When Sancho was in the city, he had parts in the 18s and scored every game.
“In a way, I want to be like him.”
While Sancho brought a flying start to life at BVB, injuries in the first two years of the club Gitten chaos devastated.
He only gave his senior debut in April 2022 with his first Bundesliga goal in the second game of the next season.

His new spatula fell together with a name change on his shirt after dropping the first part of his double last names.
Previously, he used “Bynoe-Gitten”, with both parts of his original Spitzner came from his father, born in Barbados.
Dortmunds No. 43 told the association’s team: “Both are the names of my father, but he said that he would keep it better if I am only called gittens because it is shorter.
“Most people know him as a gitten, so I will only play with Gittens in the future.”

“The shorter the better,” he later told the German Outlet Bild, and so it turned out to be on the field.
The most productive campaign from Gittens has been in 48 gates in 48 appearances, although he is fighting to Dortmund boss Kovac in the second half.
During the same period, Sancho flattered to deceive in Chelsea, which means that the next wing player does not have a high bar in the club that he can follow.
After all, the ‘next Sancho’ could make a name for itself …
