Arsenal leading the race for Gittens

1 Min Read

Arsenal are leading Chelsea in the race to sign England under-21 winger Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund.

The 20-year old wants to leave the Bundesliga side at the end of the season, and has already informed the club of his decision.

He wants to return to England, and join a team competing in the Champions League, having previously been part of the Manchester City set-up, and had previously been linked with a move to Chelsea.

However reports in Germany indicate Arsenal may already be in talks to sign him, although a fee of ₤50 million appears excessive for a player who is still relatively unproven.

Gittens primarily plays on the left, although he has also appeared in six games on the right this season, suggesting that he could be the top quality deputy for Bukayo Saka that Arsenal have been looking for over the past few seasons.
