    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The London native's impressive performances have attracted interest from his home country, with Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all said to be after him. According to Sky Sport in Germany, Bundesliga leaders Bayern are the latest team on the list and are monitoring him closely, with coach Vincent Kompany and director Max Eberl in particular raving about him. With Leroy Sane's future unclear and the likes of Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry possibly being sold, Gittens is one of the options the Bavarian side are looking at to strengthen their attack.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Bayern have snapped up many of Dortmund's star players over the years, with heroes such as Robert Lewandowski, Mats Hummels, Mario Gotze and Raphael Guerreiro all being lured to Munich from the Westfalenstadion. Dortmund are eager to keep Gittens, whose contract runs until 2028, and the report says it will take a bid of around €100 million if Bayern are to have any chance of adding him to that list in 2025.
