Arsenal have joined the race to sign young English winger. He has been in a very good form and will cost €60 million. The player has been a long-term target for Chelsea.
Chelsea are keen to sign a new winger this summer. They are focused on right footed left winger. But, they also want him to play on right and in middle when needed. In addition, they want the player to be young which has been their top hiring priority since takeover.
The Blues are linked with multiple names across whole Europe. One of them is Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund. He is 20 years old and was in verg good form in 2024/25 season. Earlier, Dortmund wanted €100 million but are now said to be willing to let Gittens leave for €60 million.
Chelsea are said to have agreed personal terms with Gittens. It is also reported that they have offered him a 7 year contract. But, they are now joined by their London rivals in the race. This may result in a major twist in Gittens saga.
Arsenal join the race for Jamie Gittens
According to Caught Offside, Arsenal have joined the race for Jamie Gittens. They too are desperate to sign a new winger. Gunners want an upgrade on Martinelli and Trossard who have been underperforming. They are in a very good state to spend €60 million on player like Gittens.
Gittens has not been the top priority for Mikel Arteta. The Spaniard wanted to sign Nico Williams. But, Williams wants a high salary and is also reported to be in talks with Barcelona. Later, Gunners had Kenan Yildiz and Rodrygo on their radar.
However, Juventus are unwilling to part ways with Yildiz. They will only sell him if they receive world-class offer. Lastly, Rodrygo has rejected the rumours of him leaving Real Madrid. He is focused on the Club World Cup with Los Blancos.
Hence, Gunners have joined the race for Gittens. The 20 year old will surely be a very good addition to their squad. But, they will need to put a lot of efforts to convince him. As of now, Chelsea still seem to have upper hand having already convinced the player.
