Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is struggling at Chelsea but can have a shot at leaving in January.

The Englishman joined the London side from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2025. The move came after he sparkled in Germany and was one of the best attackers in his age group too.

But since the transfer, Bynoe-Gittens has never made a mark. Last season, he played less than 1000 minutes in the Premier League and so far in the campaign, he hasn’t featured a single time.

Sport Witness have previously tracked how AS Roma made progress towards a summer move. It never went through, as Chelsea wanted to include him in a deal for Manu Kone. Gian Piero Gasperini rejected that move, extinguishing Bynoe-Gittens’ hope of an exit.

Key target for January

Gazzetta dello Sport have information about Roma’s current situation. While they’re in a positive spot, the loss to Manchester United generated buzz about January signings.

Gasperini himself noted this in the post-game presser, saying that the squad needs more to compete in the Champions League.

The newspaper use that to suggest that an attacking signing will be made in the winter. Chelsea’s Bynoe-Gittens is now the key target, amidst confirmation that a summer attempt was made for him.

Further, Gazzetta indicate that a January approach will be made and ideally, Roma would want him on loan. But so far, stances are unclear and more clarity can emerge in the next few weeks.

Our take: Transfer can unlock player

There is enough evidence to show that Gasperini unlocks many attacking talents – with Donyell Malen being the latest example. Bynoe-Gittens needs that, especially as he is still only 22.

He needs a new club and Gasperini’s Roma could be the perfect solution. The winger has lost his charm and desperately needs to recover that.

The Giallorossi will also allow him to play in the Champions League, which will only help Bynoe-Gittens. Everything will come down to the Blues and the sort of deal they want from Roma.
