The Premier League summer transfer window is heating up, and 20-year-old English winger Jamie Gittens has emerged as one of the most sought-after names in Europe. The Borussia Dortmund starlet is attracting serious attention from Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool, with Chelsea currently leading the race, according to Graeme Bailey via TBR Football.
A Rising Star in Germany
Since making his breakthrough at Signal Iduna Park, Gittens has blossomed into a dynamic attacking threat. After joining Dortmund from Manchester City’s academy in 2020, the youngster honed his skills with the U-19s before stepping into the spotlight for the senior team.
This season, Gittens has been one of Dortmund’s standout performers, racking up 12 goals and 5 assists in 42 appearances. His flair, technical ability, and eye for goal have drawn comparisons to former England international Joe Cole.
Arsenal and Liverpool Monitoring the Situation
At Arsenal, Mikel Arteta is eager to ease the creative burden on Bukayo Saka. Gittens offers the pace and directness Arteta craves, making him a potential game-changer at the Emirates.
Over at Liverpool, uncertainty surrounds the futures of Salah, Diaz, Nunez, and Jota, prompting the Reds to explore fresh attacking options. Gittens fits the bill as a long-term solution.
Chelsea Ready to Pounce
Chelsea, however, appear to be in pole position. With question marks over Jadon Sancho and Mykhailo Mudryk, the Blues are prioritising reinforcements out wide. Gittens, valued at around £70 million, could be the marquee addition Chelsea need to kick off the new era at Stamford Bridge.
Expect this transfer saga to gather momentum as the window edges closer.
