Tottenham are ready to break the bank to sign Jamie Gittens in the summer, with a fee of €100 million mentioned for the Borussia Dortmund winger.
According to Bild via Sport Witness, Tottenham could be willing to pay a fee of around €100 million to sign top attacking target Jamie Gittens in the summer. Borussia Dortmund could open the doors to selling the winger should they fail to make it to next season’s Champions League, although the reported fee seems a bit far-fetched.
Tottenham had some ideas in the January window and did conclude some vital business in the winter market. Spurs brought in attacker Mathys Tel, centre-back Kevin Danso and keeper Antonin Kinsky in a decent window, but they also had plans to make a move for Jamie Gittens.
Tottenham consider Gittens a key target for the summer, as they are reportedly willing to break the bank to sign the Borussia Dortmund winger. The report loosely mentions a fee of €100 million, which will see Spurs break their transfer record should they end up bringing the English winger.
Gittens has 11 goals and 5 assists in 33 games across all competition, which will cast doubts on whether he is actually worth €100 million. Dortmund could be forced to sell him if they fail to make it to the Champions League next season, as there would be financial implications for the club.
In any case, Spurs are interested in Gittens and could open negotiations with Dortmund, as only then will the price be determined. Daniel Levy is known for being a hard negotiator and will likely find a suitable deal that fits Tottenham’s agenda. However, the only problem in their way could be the competition for the Bundesliga attacking prodigy.
Jamie Gittens a big target for Premier League sides
Tottenham might be interested, and according to the reports, the north Londoners are looking to accelerate, but there are other Premier League sides chasing Gittens. Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United are all mentioned as suitors for the Bundesliga attacking prodigy, with the Merseysiders probably being the most attractive of the lot, given that they will play in the Champions League and challenge for the league title next season.
Gittens was also open to joining Chelsea when there were some links in January, which shows that the player might be open to different ideas. In any case, Spurs do offer an attractive idea to join them in the summer, as he can get the taste of English football, although this does seem like a challenging chase for the north Londoners.
