The Merseyside giants have stunned the Premier League and the rest of Europe with their moves this summer. However, Chelsea are set to turn the tables on Liverpool by signing a future England star, who was also wanted at Anfield, in the ongoing transfer window.

Liverpool have shown ambition and intent in the summer transfer window, and their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz has grabbed headlines.

The Reds have also confirmed Jeremie Frimpong’s arrival from the German club. They also seem to have an agreement in place to sign Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez in the coming days.

However, Chelsea have the edge over Liverpool in the race for a future England superstar in the ongoing transfer window as they push towards securing a deal for the player.

Chelsea edge past Liverpool in the transfer pursuit of an English winger

Jamie Gittens has been expected to leave Borussia Dortmund and return to England due to interest from several Premier League clubs this summer.

Liverpool have been keeping tabs on the young winger, intending to potentially sign him in the ongoing transfer window.

However, according to CaughtOffSide, Chelsea have marched ahead in the race to sign the Dortmund winger ahead of their other Premier League rivals.

The Blues are determined to sign him and have tabled a bid worth £55m with Dortmund to sign the 20-year-old winger this summer.

Chelsea decided against signing Jadon Sancho on a permanent deal, and are now pushing ahead to get a deal over the line for Gittens in the coming days.

Their interest in him is said to be more advanced than other clubs, but it is unclear whether Chelsea’s bid will be accepted by Dortmund this summer.

Gittens is seen as a major upgrade on Sancho, who failed to agree on personal terms with Chelsea.
