Arsenal and Chelsea are in the race to sign Jamie Bynoe-Gittens ahead of next season. As it stands right now, Chelsea is hoping to secure a place in the Champions League.

What Happened?

The race to sign Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is on, and Chelsea are on the move to get the Dortmund man onboard. However, as it stands right now, it looks like Arsenal is electrifying the entire process to ensure Jamie Bynoe-Gittens joins Arsenal. According to information reaching us at Sport Pyramid, it shows that Arsenal is already ahead in the race to sign Jamie Bynoe-Gittens because the club is one step ahead to the deal, and it looks like Jamie Bynoe-Gittens will be happy to join the team that makes the quick move.

The Bigger Picture

Due to so many teams showing interest in signing Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Dortmund had no option but to up the price of the player to a  €100 million (£85m) valuation. However, this big figure has chased away some of the clubs showing interest. Realising this, Dortmund has no option but to soften its stance. According to Ruhr Nachrichten, a more realistic fee in the range of €50-60 million (£42.6m–51m) is now being discussed.

Before joining Dortmund, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens was playing for the Manchester City youth team. The England international is currently a contract with Dortmund till 2028. This means that Dortmund will likely leverage that and profit from the deal. With the current performance of the England international, his stock is of high value right now, making it the perfect time to profit from the deal. This season, Gittens has been in top form in the league. He has been able to score a total of 12 goals, making him one of the youngest talents in European football right now.

Did You Know?

With so many rumors flying around on the transfer of Gittens, the sporting director of Dortmund came out to debunk them. He said that the England international will not be leaving the team anytime soon. In his own words, he said:

“That’s not true. The boy was already with us in the youth system, where an extremely strong relationship of trust developed. He identifies 100 percent with BVB.”

Jamie Bynoe-Gittens started playing for Dortmund in 2020 after moving from the Manchester City youth team, following a similar development path to England teammate Jadon Sancho.

What's Next?

Arsenal is looking for new players it can use to strengthen its team.  Mikel Arteta is hoping Chelsea will back off from the deal and Arsenal can go ahead to make an official bid.

At this moment, Dortmund are open to cashing out while they can or risk an unsettled player heading into the 2025 season.

Right now, we can't say more about how the deal will end. However, once the Premier League and Bundesliga end, we can expect to get a clearer picture.
