Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are both looking at Borussia Dortmund’s young winger, Jamie Gittens, as a potential transfer target. Other Premier League clubs like Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest have also shown interest in the talented player, having scouted him recently.
According to sources close to the situation, Arsenal and Spurs are seriously considering making a move for Gittens. Both clubs have received positive feedback on his performances after watching him play in recent games. The 20-year-old winger has caught the eye with his skills and pace, making him a promising addition to any team looking to boost their attacking lineup.
Gittens has had a journey through some of the top academies in English football. He started at Chelsea and then moved to Manchester City before joining Borussia Dortmund in 2020. His career has taken off since his move to Germany, where he has become an important part of the Dortmund first team. The England Under-21 international’s impressive progress has led big clubs to consider bringing him back to the Premier League.
Dortmund to consider Gittens’ trade for at least €60 million: Sources
However, convincing Dortmund to let go of Gittens won’t be easy. Reports suggest that the German club has no intention of selling their young star at the moment. It is believed that Dortmund would only consider a deal if they receive an offer of at least €60 million. This high price tag might make it difficult for any of the interested clubs to finalize the transfer.
For Arsenal, signing a player like Gittens could be crucial, especially after their recent loss to Bournemouth, where they struggled without the injured Bukayo Saka. Manager Mikel Arteta might be looking for another strong attacking option to reduce the pressure on Saka. With Gabriel Martinelli’s recent dip in form, Gittens could add more depth and creativity to Arsenal’s attack.
Tottenham, on the other hand, are also looking to strengthen their squad as they aim to secure a regular spot in the Premier League’s top four. With Son Heung-min getting older, Spurs will eventually need a younger replacement to keep their attack strong. Gittens could be a smart choice to add more speed and versatility to their lineup.
As the January transfer window approaches, it will be interesting to see if Arsenal, Spurs, or any other clubs make a serious move for Jamie Gittens. For now, Dortmund’s high asking price remains the biggest hurdle in bringing the talented winger back to England.
