Arsenal are believed to have lead over Chelsea in the race to sign English winger. The player is young, versatile and in superb form. He is said to cost as high as €100 million.
The star in question here is Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund. The 20 year old has been with German club since 2020 and has now developed into their regular starter. He has been in superb form this season and has scored 11 goals along with picking 3 assists.
Dortmund are very happy with Gittens but will still need to sell him. They are set to miss out on UCL spot and hence their key players will move away in summer. As for Gittens, they are said to demand as high as €100 million.
Chelsea have been long-term admirers of Gittens. They are keen to sign him as replacement to Mykhailo Mudryk and Joao Felix. The Blues are also prepared to spend big on him but are facing strong competition from other English clubs.
Arsenal said to have lead in signing Jamie Gittens
TBR Football have reported that Gunners have emerged as string contenders to sign Gittens. The report adds that the player is also looked upon by Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester City and Aston Villa.
Gunners are also set to spend big on winger this summer. They have Nico Williams as their top target but Gittens can also be a great addition. The English winger is even younger than Williams but will surely cost most than Spaniard. Williams can be signed for €58 million which is his release clause.
Chelsea will not give up easily on the pursuit of Gittens. But, they may struggle to convince him after failing to qualify for UCL. Hence, their top priority should be to grab a top four finish and then improve the squad even further.
