Borussia Dortmund are reportedly bracing for a summer exodus, with young English winger Jamie Gittens one of the potential departures.
At just 20 years old, Gittens has caught the attention of top European clubs due to his impressive performances in the Bundesliga. With 11 goals and 3 assists this season, he’s firmly established himself as one of the most promising attacking talents in Europe.
Dortmund is expecting significant interest in Gittens, with reports suggesting that the club could demand €80-100m for his signature. Clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool and Bayern Munich are already said to be keen, and Liverpool and Arsenal have also been linked in the past, according to Sky Germany.
Could Gittens Return to the Premier League?
Given his previous stints at the Chelsea, Manchester City, and Reading academies, Gittens might be open to returning to the Premier League. His skills could make him a strong addition to Chelsea, who have been disappointed with the performances of some recent attacking signings. Gittens would certainly provide an upgrade on inconsistent players like Pedro Neto and Jadon Sancho, with Joao Felix also struggling before his loan move to AC Milan.
Meanwhile, Liverpool may need reinforcements on the wing, especially with Mohamed Salah entering the final months of his contract and no indication of a renewal.
Arsenal could also make a move for Gittens, as they’ve struggled with depth in attack this season. Bringing in Gittens could ease the pressure on Bukayo Saka and provide an alternative to Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, who have been inconsistent.
Gittens’ future is certainly one to watch this summer, with several top Premier League clubs keen to secure his services.
