He enjoyed his best individual season at Dortmund in 2024-25, scoring 12 goals and providing five assists in 49 games across all competitions.
Gittens has earned caps across all youth levels for England and is currently a member of their Under-21 squad, where he has one goal in 11 appearances.
He becomes Chelsea’s latest signing this summer following the arrivals of Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Dario Essugo, Estevao Willian and Mamadou Sarr.
Gittens is unable to play for Chelsea at the Club World Cup, having already featured for Dortmund. The Blues are through to the semi-final and will take on Fluminense for a place in the final on Tuesday, 8 July in New Jersey.
