The need for a new forward at Hotspur Way is highly known, and Daniel Levy has been trying his best to land a new face in Ange Postecoglou’s attacking setup in the upcoming winter transfer window, and there have been a lot of players subject to speculation over a move to N17, but one standout that has the capacity to be a highlight transfer of the summer interval is 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund sensation Jamie Gittens.
Gittens is playing some exceptional football lately
The English winger departed the shores from Man City’s prestigious academy for Germany in search of a more lucrative path to the first team, and it looks like the risk has paid off given how he has been playing some impressive football for the Bundesliga giants, showcasing his flair and ability to generate output on a consistent basis.
Gittens has earned a high reputation given his flair and ability to get a grip on the game, and he has been putting in exemplary performances for Dortmund this season, where he has already recorded 15 goal contributions, which has got Levy trying to get a deal done and bring him to North London.
However, given his performances, multiple elite clubs from England have been eyeing a potential move for the 20-year-old when the summer transfer window comes around, as the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City have registered interest. But what is set to complicate any deal for Tottenham would be city-rivals Chelsea, who are fortifying interest in landing Gittens.
Chelsea push for a deal that Tottenham need to be cautious about…
The Blues are ‘keeping a close eye’ on the 20-year-old and have put forward an €80m proposal to the German side to acquire Gittens, per Spanish outlet Fichajes. While the West Londoners look to secure his services, Dortmund have no intention of letting their prized asset go cheap. We have seen them selling players time and time again on a preset price, and that’s what the German club is holding out for yet again. The chiefs at Signal Iduna Park have set their price at €100 million.

For Tottenham, any investment in three figures is a far thing, given how Levy operates. Moreover, at the moment, there are multiple positions that Spurs need to recruit for, and any hefty bid for one player would mean that other transfer priorities aren’t satisfied, and the Lilywhites cannot afford that going into another season.
