Chelsea reject AS Roma's offer to loan Jamie Gittens

Chelsea have rejected a loan offer from AS Roma for English winger Jamie Gittens, according to French journalist Fabrice Hawkins.

AS Roma had expressed interest in signing Gittens during the final hours of the transfer window, in an attempt to bolster their attacking options, but the offer did not receive the approval of the London club's management.

According to Hawkins, current indications suggest that the English player is likely to remain at Chelsea, as the club is keen to keep him and does not wish to allow his departure on loan.

Chelsea continue their preparations for the new season amid intense activity in the transfer market, with it appearing that Gittens will remain in the team's plans unless any unexpected changes occur before the market closes.
