Bynoe-Gittens scored his fourth Bundesliga goal of the season against Bayern Munich in a 1-1 draw in Der Klassiker, limiting Vincent Kompany's men to just their third dropped points of the campaign. That tally, alongside four goals in the Champions League, has seen Dortmund fans hail the 20-year-old 'difference-maker', though it's also seen reported interest - with Arsenal part of the race to land him.

The Gunners have taken an interest, with Mikel Arteta already beginning initial talks with his recruitment staff to look further into the situation, and to position themselves for a future transfer. Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also supposedly in the frame to sign the youngster, but it's thought that Dortmund aren't worried about a sale just yet with the Reading-born star feeling 'at home' in the Bundesliga.
Bynoe-Gittens' advisor Emeka Obasi has retained a good relationship with the German giants, and they are in contact over his future - whilst the star winger also has a contract until 2028, which he signed just over a year ago. The Englishman is not currently planning a transfer back to his homeland, though the report states that he does see himself playing in the Premier League. Dortmund are also dependent on transfer fees, and he could become the next in a conveyor belt that has seen English stars Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham move for multi-million pound fees after being touted as 'impossible to defend against'.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Jamie Bynoe-Gittens has 11 caps for England's under-21 side, scoring once.
Arsenal are in need of a right-winger to act as backup for Bukayo Saka, and with Bynoe-Gittens able to play on both wings, it could call Gabriel Martinelli's long-term future at the Emirates Stadium into doubt if he signs - though Arteta will simply be looking to bolster his squad to see the Gunners win silverware.
