LATEST TRANSFER BOMBSHELL; Tottenham explode into race to sign £84m Arsenal attacking target in summer transfer coup
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly entered the race to sign Borussia Dortmund’s promising attacking talent, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, joining north London rivals Arsenal and several other clubs.
Despite a season marred by injuries, Spurs made three new signings in the winter transfer window, though two of them—Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel—are on loan with obligations and options to buy. Tottenham did have funds to spend, as shown by their failed £70million bid for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi. As a result, Spurs are expected to be active in the upcoming summer transfer window, whether or not Ange Postecoglou remains in charge.
One player they are now reportedly targeting is the £84m-rated Dortmund star, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, who has impressed in the Bundesliga this season. If Tottenham were to meet the rumored price, it would break their transfer record.
According to GiveMeSport, Bynoe-Gittens is a top target for Spurs, although they are cautious of a bidding war, with Arsenal and Chelsea also interested. Tottenham’s optimism has grown due to Dortmund’s struggles in 11th place in the Bundesliga, though they are still in a strong position in the Champions League after a 3-0 win over Sporting in the first leg of their playoff, a match in which Gittens started.
Though Gittens’ full release clause may not be met, any transfer fee for the 20-year-old is expected to be significant. The winger, who can play on both flanks, has scored 11 goals and provided 5 assists in 31 appearances this season.
Gittens as a Potential Replacement for Son Heung-Min
The majority of Gittens’ appearances this season have been on the left wing, which suggests Tottenham may view him as a long-term replacement for Son Heung-Min. While Son has extended his stay for another season, he hasn’t been the same dynamic player he once was. Tottenham also have Wilson Odobert, who can play on the left, and Mathys Tel, who is versatile enough to play out wide or through the center, though it remains uncertain whether Tel will stay permanently.
Securing Gittens would be a significant win for Tottenham, who are in the process of building a youthful, dynamic squad. However, they will need their senior players to return to form to give Postecoglou the best chance of success in his tenure. This begins with a crucial match against Manchester United, where a win would move Spurs above them in the table.
Additionally, Tottenham could be bolstered by the return of one of their key defenders, Destiny Udogie, who is set to return to training after a two-day break following the Villa game.
How Many Goals Will Mathys Tel Score During His Loan Spell at Tottenham?
The outcome of Mathys Tel’s loan spell at Tottenham is yet to be determined, as his role and performance during the rest of the season could influence his impact and goal tally.
