Tottenham Hotspur have been informed that they will have to pay an eye-watering fee to sign an exciting young winger they are keen on.
English starlet dazzling in Germany
Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is catching the eye of many clubs in the Premier League at the start of the season. It looks like he could be the latest English starlet to make a big-money move away from the Bundesliga giants.
A number of reports over the last week have revealed that the 20-year-old is on Tottenham’s radar ahead of the January window (The Mirror).
Football Insider even suggested a few days ago that the youngster is seen as a good fit for Ange Postecoglou’s project at N17.
Bild have now become the latest outlet to back up Spurs’ interest in the Dortmund man, claiming that the Lilywhites are keen on securing his services.
They claim that Tottenham’s biggest competitors for Bynoe-Gittens could be London rivals, Chelsea, with both clubs having sent scouts to watch the winger in action this season.
However, the publication adds that Dortmund have made it clear to these clubs that they would have to pay a whopping €100m (£83.4m) if they want to prise the former Man City youngster away from Westfalenstadion.

Tottenham unlikely to enter bidding war
We know that Dortmund tend to drive a hard bargain and one would expect the German club to stick to their guns and demand a huge fee for Bynoe-Gittens.
While one can understand why Spurs see the winger as a good fit for their project, Postecoglou’s men are not going to get involved in a bidding war with Chelsea or other Premier League sides for the youngster.
