Confirmed new Chelsea signing announces he is ready after completing big move
Brand new CHELSEA signing Jamie Gittens has revealed that he is now ready for the Premier League after leaving Manchester City for the Bundesliga a few seasons ago.
The Englishman’s move to Stamford Bridge was finally confirmed on Saturday after the club agreed a £48.5million deal with the Bundesliga club, and ended months of speculation about his future.
Gittens, who spent time in the clubs youth set-up, scored 17 goals and contributed 14 assists in 107 games over his four seasons at Dortmund, has now revealed that he is more ready for the Premier League that he was a few years ag0.
Gittens spent time at Manchester City prior to his move to Germany, and is the latest product from that academy to join Maresca’s squad: ‘I think I left England a boy, but I’ve come back as a man,’ Gittens told the club’s official website
‘Before I went to Dortmund, I was living by myself in digs in Manchester, so I’ve lived without my family since I was 14. Since then, I’ve developed as a man.
‘It was massive for me. I went there during lockdown – it was Covid times – so I was stuck in the youth house at Dortmund and, during the first year and a half, there were no football games, only training.
‘Then I had an injury, so it took me two years to get into my rhythm properly. It wasn’t easy being injured; it was tough, but you learn a lot during difficult periods, and after that, it was quite smooth.
‘It was lots of FaceTime calls with my mum, dad and sister. Playing with my friends on PlayStation, going into party chat, but it made me better and more resilient to challenges by living alone.
‘It taught me a lot about how to be patient and how to keep working without being distracted.’
