Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring Jamie Gittens ahead of a potential move this summer.

According to GMS, the player will cost around £45 million, and Spurs will face competition from Arsenal and Chelsea.

The 20-year-old winger has done quite well in the Bundesliga, and he could be an important player for Tottenham as well. He has been labelled as a “top player” this season.

The player has 12 goals and five assists to his name for Borussia Dortmund this season. There is no doubt that he has the technical attributes to succeed in the Premier League as well.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham follow up on their interest with an official offer to sign the player.

Tottenham need Jamie Gittens

Timo Werner and Richarlison have been underwhelming this season, and both players have been linked with an exit this summer.

Spurs could use another quality left-sided winger, and Gittens could be the ideal acquisition. He will add goals, creativity, pace, and unpredictability to their attack. The player is quite young, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He has all the tools to develop into a key player for Tottenham.

The report claims that the player is interested in a move to England this summer. A return to his homeland could be ideal for him. It is fair to assume that he could cost a premium.

Tottenham move could be attractive

Tottenham have an ambitious project, and they will compete in the UEFA Champions League next season. They have a talented squad as well.

Gittens could be attracted to the idea of joining them. It could be the ideal move for him. Regular football in the Premier League could bring out the best in the player and help him develop further.

Spurs need to improve their squad if they want to fight for trophies next season. It will be interesting to see if they can bring the talented youngster back to England this summer.

Arsenal need more depth on the flanks as well. Gabriel Martinelli has been underwhelming, and Gittens could compete with him for the starting spot. He will add some cutting edge to the Arsenal attack and help them going forward.
