Liverpool FC is reportedly setting its sights on Borussia Dortmund’s standout player, Jamie Gittens, with a potential move expected this summer. Gittens’ exceptional performances in the Bundesliga have caught the attention of top-tier Premier League clubs, and a return to England seems imminent.
According to Sky Germany, Gittens’ is leaning towards a move to the Premier League, despite interest from football giant Bayern Munich. His potential transfer to Liverpool has caused a stir, especially considering the precarious situation surrounding Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s star winger. With only a few months left before Salah can leave Anfield as a free agent, Liverpool’s interest in Gittens is becoming more pronounced.
Salah, the Egyptian international, has not yet signed a new contract with Liverpool, and this may force the club to consider replacements. Gittens, a 20-year-old with both speed and skill, could be the answer. While he may not yet be at Salah’s level, Gittens presents an exciting prospect for Liverpool, and could prove to be a wise investment.
However, Liverpool is not the only Premier League club with its eyes on Gittens. Chelsea is also reportedly in the race to sign the young talent. After another year without a Premier League title, Chelsea is eager to inject fresh talent into its ranks. Gittens could be the much-needed upgrade Chelsea seeks, following the underwhelming performances of players like Mykhailo Mudryk, Jadon Sancho, and Joao Felix. Furthermore, with Raheem Sterling’s loan at Arsenal coming to an end, Chelsea will be looking to make significant changes.
