London giants Tottenham are laying the groundwork to bring 20-year-old English whizkid Jamie Gittens back to England from Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Jamie Gittens is the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur. The Lilywhites are scouring the market for a productive wide attacker heading into the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Borussia Dortmund whizkid. They are laying the groundwork to land the English attacking prospect.
Jamie Gittens and his rise in Germany
Jamie Gittens has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the Bundesliga since breaking into the first-team squad at Borussia Dortmund. A native of London, the Englishman spent his formative years with half a dozen clubs and graduated from the youth division at the Bundesliga club.
The 20-year-old has gone from strength to strength at Borussia Dortmund, enjoying his breakthrough in the first-team squad in the ongoing campaign. Gittens has contributed to 15 goals in 40 appearances across all competitions, finding the back of the net 11 times and providing four assists.
Meanwhile, the English attacking prospect’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. A return to England might be on the cards for the highly-rated winger, with Tottenham Hotspur among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
London return on the cards?
Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Jamie Gittens makes sense. The Lilywhites are combing the market for a wide attacker heading into the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding Richarlison’s long-term future. In addition, Tottenham will likely offload some fringe players, including Bryan Gil and Alejo Veliz.
So, the North London club should invest in a wide attacker in the summer transfer window, with Gittens emerging as the top target. The latest report has revealed that the Lilywhites are “laying the groundwork” to inch closer to a deal to bring the 20-year-old Englishman back to England in the summer transfer window.
The highly-rated attacker will not come cheap, with Borussia Dortmund demanding around £83 million to part ways with him in the summer transfer window. So, it will be interesting to see if Tottenham will meet the Bundesliga club’s valuation or negotiate a lower fee when talks begin.
