TOTTENHAM are eyeing up an audacious summer move for Borussia Dortmund starlet Jamie Gittens. Winger Gittens, 20, has been a long-term target of Spurs who are keen to bolster the left-side of their attack. But there is likely to be plenty of competition for the former Manchester City academy player. Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea also tracking the England Under-21 international. Gittens has scored 16 goals in 91 appearances for Dortmund, coming on as a late sub in last season’s Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid.

This year he has developed into a first-team regular, netting 11 goals in 33 appearances. He has not scored in eight games though as Dortmund have slid down to 11th in the Bundesliga table, winning just one and losing five of their last seven league games. Dortmund are eight points off the top four but are still in the Champions League, holding a 3-0 lead going into their play-off second leg against Sporting Lisbon.

Former Dortmund and Liverpool striker Karl Heinz-Riedle told SunSport in November that Gittens has the potential to emulate ex-team-mates Jude Bellingham and Jadon Sancho.
