Gittens' introduction to life at Chelsea was hindered by a lack of pre-season training, which affected him and many other players. Unlike some of his teammates, he didn't have the opportunity to participate in Chelsea's Club World Cup campaign, where the team eventually won the trophy.

As a result, Gittens was training at Chelsea's Cobham facility while his teammates were on their way to lifting the trophy. The £40 million signing of Alejandro Garnacho also presented a challenge for Gittens, as Garnacho had more experience in England and started Chelsea's previous three Premier League games.

Despite the difficulties, Gittens has been given opportunities to gain experience in Chelsea's cup games, which has helped him settle into the team. His performances have been notable, particularly in Chelsea's 5-1 win over Ajax, where he created the most chances and had seven touches in the opposition box.

Gittens' goal against Wolves was a standout moment, but what's even more impressive is his attitude and appreciation for the team's talent and camaraderie. He expressed his gratitude for playing with his teammates, saying they are "so talented" and "intelligent" and that playing with them is an "honour."

With Cole Palmer out injured, Chelsea needs a player to take control of the game, and Gittens has shown he can do just that. Now, he needs to continue performing at this level to solidify his place in the team.
