Three Premier League sides interested in Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens

Bild reports that three Premier League clubs are showing interest in Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens as the club continues to struggle on the pitch. 

As the season goes on, European qualification especially into the Champions League looks more and more unlikely for Dortmund. This would mean they have to sell a player this summer to offset the loss of money and it is increasingly likely that Gittens will be the one to leave. 

Die Schwarzgelben will demand around €100m for the 20-year-old. Tottenham are said to have been interested in Gittens for a while now and could move in the summer, while Arsenal and Chelsea are also said to be monitoring the situation. Bayern Munich have previously been linked for a move for Gittens in the summer as well. 

What doesn’t help the situation is that when Gittens was substituted against Bochum at the weekend, he was seemingly attacked verbally by the Dortmund fans and needed to be calmed down by his teammates in the 2-0 loss to their local rivals.

Dortmund are currently 11th in the Bundesliga table and Gittens is their second-highest scorer his season with seven goals in 22 Bundesliga games, behind Serhou Guirassy who is on nine goals in 19 matches.
