Arsenal have been linked with a move for the Borussia Dortmund attacker Jamie Gittens, a target for Aston Villa and Chelsea.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Jamie Gittens is on the radar of Chelsea and Aston Villa as well. However, Arsenal could now become the front-runners to get the deal done. The Englishman is reportedly valued at £70 million by Borussia Dortmund, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Gittens has already established himself as a key player for Borussia Dortmund the season and he has been a regular starter for the Bundesliga club. The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be quite exciting for him, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
The 20-year-old is a prodigious young talent with a bright future, and he has the ability to improve all three English clubs. Although the youngster is a left-sided winger, he is capable of operating on either flank. He has 11 goals and four assists to his name this season, and Arsenal could use someone like him.
The North Londoners have been overly reliant on Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli due to the lack of depth in the side. They need more quality in the wide areas, and the 20-year-old could be the ideal long-term acquisition for them.
Arsenal will be hoping to win major trophies in the coming seasons, and they need top-quality players at their disposal. The English winger could prove to be a superb acquisition if they can get the deal across the line.
Chelsea and Villa keen on Gittens
Chelsea are keen on Jamie Gittens as well. It is no secret that they need a quality winger. Mykhailo Mudryk has not been able to live up to the expectations since joining the club from Shakhtar Donetsk, and he could now face a lengthy ban for doping.
Chelsea need to invest in a quality wide player, and Gittens would be an exceptional acquisition for them. The Englishman is a proven performer in the Bundesliga, and he has the technical attributes to do well in the Premier League as well.
As far as Aston Villa are concerned, they are looking to build a formidable squad for the future, and they have already brought in a number of quality attackers. Signing the 20-year-old will help them improve further and fight for trophies and UEFA Champions League qualification regularly.
It will be interesting to see which of the three clubs are willing to spend £70 million on the Borussia Dortmund attacker. Even though the asking price is quite steep right now, the 20-year-old attacker has the ability to justify the investment in the long run.
