Tottenham could be ready to ‘bet big’ on a high-priced wing target according to one report.

Tottenham are said to be ready to ‘bet big’ on the signing of a talented Bundesliga winger this summer. It has been a season to forget for Spurs, who find themselves stuck in the bottom half after spending much of the season battling a relentless stream of injuries.

Ange Postecoglou is now fighting for his future as Tottenham boss, and he is going to need to deliver a consistent run of form now that players are returning from their respective injury issues.

Looking further ahead, Tottenham are going to need significant reinforcements this summer despite signing Antonin Kinsky, Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel in the winter window. More quality and more depth will be required if the North London club are to be a top four challenger, and there could be a statement attacking signing this summer.

According to one journalist, that statement signing could be Dortmund winger Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. German insider Florian Plettenburg has told SportBILD: “Dortmund crashed in the league, the Champions League is getting further and further away, and with that the income from the Champions League next season.

“They have to win it to be in it again. If they miss out, they’ll have to sell players and Gittens is highly regarded. Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are said to be offering €100m. You have to say that would be nice money. Hans-Joachim Watzke recently admitted that they will have to sell one or two players if they miss out on the Champions League. So, a transfer for Gittens could happen.

“The English have the money; they have the TV contracts. Bayern Munich won’t pay this summer, and they could have him with that. But yes, Tottenham I think they’ll bet big.”

The £82.8million fee mentioned would be a huge gamble for Tottenham, and especially involving a 20-year-old who has never played Premier League football. Gittens did have spells with Reading, Chelsea and Manchester City’s academies, but he ultimately came through at Dortmund, signing for them as a youth player in 2020.

Since graduating to the first team, he has scored 11 goals in 66 league games from out wide for Dortmund, and he helped Dortmund reach the Champions League final last season. Chelsea have also been heavily linked with the young winger, but it’s unclear whether they would be willing to pay a huge fee for the youngster, who is tied down to a contract until 2028.

That would also be a huge fee for Tottenham, and it would surely rely on them deciding to not sign Tel permanently, given they have a £45million option to buy in the winger.
