Tottenham view Jamie Gittens as their top attacking target ahead of the summer, and only a club-record bid would tempt Borussia Dortmund into a sale.
According to Give Me Sport, Jamie Gittens has emerged as Tottenham Hotspur’s top summer target. Borussia Dortmund are set to demand a significant fee to sell the English sensation, with Spurs confident of beating many of their domestic rivals in the hunt for the winger.
Tottenham did end the transfer window positively after some key signings to bolster their injury-ravaged side. Kevin Danso arrived from RC Lens in the winter, while Antonin Kinsky was also signed from Sparta Prague before they ended the window with the arrival of exciting attacker Mathys Tel on loan from Bayern Munich with an option to buy.
Tottenham are already planning for the summer transfer window as the club chiefs plan key attacking reinforcements. Among those is a priority target, as the Spurs are keen to land Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund, and any deal will require the North Londoners to smash their transfer record.
Borussia Dortmund reportedly want £83 million to sell the young prospect, who has three and a half years left on his existing contract. While the Bundesliga giants are not in a particular hurry to offload Jamie Gittens, they might be forced to sell if they fail to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season amid intense competition to finish in the top four places.
Tottenham are reportedly willing to open dialogue with Dortmund over a potential deal for Gittens. The idea of paying big for the £83 million-rated whizkid may not deter Spurs. However, the big concern comes in the form of intense competition from the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea.
Tottenham confident of beating rivals for Gittens
Jamie Gittens has many top-level suitors chasing his signature, including Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal. Sticking with the Gunners, they have admired the player for quite some time and could get into the mix. However, the £83 million-rated whizkid’s price tag could prove prohibitive as they are angling for a new midfielder as well as a big-name striker in the summer.
Gittens seemingly is attracted by Chelsea as one of the clubs he might consider joining, as the Blues are always in the hunt for top young attacking profiles. However, Tottenham are very much confident of beating their rivals for the signing of Gittens, as this deal could be driven by which club is willing to pay the exorbitant fee Dortmund ends up demanding.
