Borussia Dortmund attacker Jamie Gittens has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months.

The 20-year-old has done quite well for Borussia Dortmund this season, and he could prove to be an exceptional acquisition for multiple clubs.

Rudy Galetti has informed CaughtOffside that Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle United are all seriously interested in the Borussia Dortmund winger.

Arsenal are leading the race

Arsenal are reportedly ahead of the other clubs in the race to sign Gittens, and he is likely to cost around €55 million. With a contract running until 2028, Dortmund are in a strong position and are not open to big discounts. They know the player is highly rated and are waiting for the right offer. Transfer talks are likely to intensify in the coming weeks, and there will be new developments in the race. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.

While the 20-year-old attacker is happy at Dortmund, he would be open to taking up a new challenge this summer. The opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world will be quite exciting for him.

Bayern Munich have also shown interest, but Bynoe-Gittens would prefer a move back to England. This gives Premier League clubs an advantage in the race for his signature.

Chelsea and Newcastle are closely following the situation, and they are preparing strategies to convince both Dortmund and the player in the next few weeks.

Arsenal have been overly reliant on Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. They need more depth on the flanks, and Gittens would be the ideal acquisition.

Similarly, Newcastle need another attacker to complete their front three alongside Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon. At Chelsea, Gittens could be an upgrade on Mykhailo Mudryk, who is facing a lengthy ban for doping.

Gittens has 12 goals and five assists to his name this season.

  1. This is the time of confusion from the press they wrote all sorts of news every seconds, minutes and hours no one knows the truth they mentioned many clubs in other to make their money and clubs heads together to make sure they go for bidding war but my advice is Arsenal must take time and be careful in other not to fall into the trap set agents and journalists this is their bumper time of making profits by profiteering the prices of players they make money through canvassing so clubs will make some wrong signing through their canvassing let cubs be wise from now till the window closes.

  2. arsenal must be wary and at the same time make quick decisions and steps in order to make good bargaining and compatible players as they gear up for big challenges in the coming new season.
