Chelsea are showing strong interest in one Bundesliga ace ahead of summer window. They are joined by their city rivals Arsenal in the race. The player has now announced that he is ready to leave his current club at the end of the season.
Thr star in question here is Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund. He is 20 years old and has been superb this season. He has scored 12 goals and picked 3 assists this season. Despite Dortmund struggling this season, Gittens has been one of their bright lights.
Gittens is very heavily linked with a move to Premier League. Arsenal and Chelsea are keen to welcome him back to England. Dortmund will miss UCL football next season and hence many big names will be leaving this summer.
According to Daily Express, Gittens has told his teammates that he will leave at the end of the season. The 20 year old has not yet commented on his next club. But, the Premier League seems very likely to be his next destination.
Arsenal lead Chelsea in race for Gittens
As of now, Gunners are leading the race for Gittens. Chelsea are yet to secure their position in Champions League. On the other hand, Arsenal are the favourites to finish on the 2nd position. Hence, the North London side moves ahead of the West London.
Gittens is represented by the same group as Bukayo Saka. Gunners can take advantage of this situation. The 20 year old will be a very good addition in their squad. He can start ahead of Gabriel Martinelli whereas serve as key backup for Saka and Odegaard.
Gittens can also be a good addition for Chelsea squad. He fits the bill as he is still very young and can be looked upon as long-term investment. But, the Blues do have a very high squad depth. Hence, they can’t guarantee Gittens with regular game-time which may result in failure of deal.
