Arsenal have emerged as the frontrunners to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens, with the club working hard to beat Chelsea to his signature. According to Ruhr Nachrichten, Gittens has already informed his Dortmund teammates that he will be leaving the club this summer, signaling a potential return to England. Arsenal’s interest has grown stronger, and their efforts appear to be paying off as they look to reinforce their attacking options.
Gittens has been a standout performer for Dortmund this season, registering 12 goals and 5 assists across all competitions. His performances have caught the attention of several top clubs, but it is now Arsenal who seem to be leading the race. Dortmund is reportedly willing to let the 20-year-old go for a fee between €50m and €60m, a sum Arsenal is well-equipped to meet.
The winger’s potential move to north London is seen as part of Arsenal’s broader strategy to bolster their forward line. While the Gunners have boasted one of the best defensive records in the Premier League this season, their attack has been a point of concern. Gittens’ versatility and attacking threat could be just what the team needs to take their attack to the next level.
Arsenal’s focus on improving their squad has included moves for several key players. One such player is Martin Zubimendi, who is expected to fill Jorginho’s role in midfield. The club is also pursuing Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP to add a striker to their ranks. However, Gittens’ arrival could be the most exciting addition, especially given his potential to make an immediate impact on the wing.
Gittens’ move away from Dortmund seems inevitable, and with Arsenal now leading the way, it looks likely that the young English winger will make his return to the Premier League this summer.
