The Premier League’s top clubs are in a fierce race to secure the signature of Borussia Dortmund’s young sensation, Jamie Gittens.
Key Interest
According to Sky Germany, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham have expressed strong interest in signing the 20-year-old English winger. Gittens, currently under contract with Dortmund until 2028, has enjoyed a stellar season, contributing seven goals and four assists across all competitions. Dortmund reportedly value him at €100 million (£83 million/$105 million), a figure they believe reflects his growing potential.
Career Highlights
Gittens has already made a significant impact in European football. He became the youngest Englishman to score against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League during Dortmund’s 5-2 defeat earlier this season. He also scored twice in a 3-0 victory over Club Brugge and netted against Dinamo Zagreb.
The England Under-21 international joined Dortmund from Manchester City’s academy in 2022 after failing to secure a breakthrough in their first team. Since then, he has made 76 appearances for the German side and continues to develop into one of Europe’s most exciting young talents.
Challenges for a Transfer
Despite Premier League interest, Gittens has no immediate plans to leave Dortmund, either in January or the upcoming summer transfer window. However, the report suggests that the winger has a long-term desire to return to English football, providing hope for interested clubs.
What’s Next?
Gittens will next take to the field as Dortmund face arch-rivals Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga this weekend. Dortmund currently sit fifth in the table, trailing leaders Vincent Kompany’s Bayern by 10 points.
Did You Know?
Gittens is widely regarded as a future star and has drawn comparisons to other successful English exports who flourished in Germany, such as Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham.
The race for his signature could become one of the marquee transfer battles in the coming years.
