The transfer of Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund to Chelsea is not quite done yet, with Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl saying on Sunday that final details still need to be settled.

Both teams are at the Club World Cup in the United States, and Gittens had his Chelsea medical on Saturday.

The final details likely refer to the volume of the transfer which is said to in the region of €65 million ($76 million).

Even if the transfer is completed over the next days, Gittens won't be able to play for Chelsea in the Club World Cup quarter-finals, and possibly beyond, because he was registered and played for Dortmund.

Kehl was speaking at an open Dortmund training session in Florida, where he also said that Chelsea loanee Carney Chukwuemeka will stay with them as long as they are in the tournament.

Chukwuemeka's loan from England's Chelsea since January originally ends on Monday. Dortmund play their last 16 match against Mexico's Monterrey on Tuesday, and Kehl said the clubs have agreed that he can remain with the Dortmund team.
