After joining BVB from city of manchesterIn the 2020 youth system, the 20-year-old initially struggled at Signal Iduna Park. But he has now started to show his qualities for the German team this season, scoring four goals and registering two assists in nine appearances in all competitions.
So, having been impressed by the Englishman's recent promising performances, it seems that first division Clubs have begun lining up to secure his signature.

However, BVB would be willing to cash in on him if they receive an offer of around £83m. Therefore, Tottenham will have to break their transfer record to sign Gittens.

Furthermore, the Merseyside club are willing to make a “strong offer” to lure the striker to Anfield by beating Spurs in this race. The German media also says that, apart from Tottenham and the Reds, Chelsea They are also interested in him.
Gittens likes to be in the left position. He is fast, technically sound, can dribble past opposing defenders in tight areas, can connect play, has the ability to make passes between the lines and also has a tendency to make long-distance attempts.
