ARSENAL GAIN ADVANTAGE OVER CHELSEA IN JAMIE GITTENS CHASE – DORTMUND SLASH €100M ASKING PRICE
Gunners Gain Momentum in High-Stakes Transfer Battle
Arsenal have emerged as frontrunners for Borussia Dortmund’s electric winger Jamie Gittens, with the German club now willing to accept €65-70m (£55-60m) for the 21-year-old English starlet – a dramatic drop from their initial €100m (£85m) valuation.
Why the Price Crash?
Dortmund’s UCL Failure: Missing Champions League football forces financial recalibration
Gittens’ Push: The player reportedly wants Premier League return after 2 years in Germany
Arsenal’s Strategic Move: Edu offering lucrative long-term deal with key role promises
Chelsea’s Dilemma
Still in talks but refusing to overpay after recent spending sprees
May pivot to Nico Williams (Athletic Club) as cheaper alternative
No European football next season weakens their pitch
Arteta’s Masterstroke?
Gittens fits Arsenal’s blueprint perfectly:
✅ Homegrown quota solution
⚡ Left-footed right winger to rotate with Saka
📈 20 G/A last season in Bundesliga
Sneaky Threat
⚠️ Man United monitoring situation if Sancho leaves permanently
💰 Expected Bid: Arsenal preparing £50m + add-ons offer this week
