Borussia Dortmund have moved to sign another English wonderkid as they close in on Manchester City sensation Jamie Bynoe-Gittens.
Bynoe-Gittens, who has been tipped to emulate Jadon Sancho, is virtually certain of leaving the Etihad Stadium this summer with a host of Europe’s top clubs chasing the 16-year-old winger.
Paris Saint-Germain are also interest in the teenager, but Bundesliga giants Dortmund are well advanced in their move and are expected to win the race.
The German club have found the English academy set-up a fruitful market for players in recent years having signed Sancho from City and Jude Bellingham from Birmingham just last month.
City officials are aware of Bynoe-Gittens’ intention to leave the Etihad Stadium and fear his mind is already made up despite wanting to keep the youngster on their books.
The England Under 17 international was discovered by City’s highly-respected national youth lead scout Sam Fagbemi and the club moved quickly to sign Bynoe-Gittens under the instruction of head of academy recruitment Joe Shields.
But like Sancho before him, City are now facing the prospect of losing one of their most talented youngsters to Dortmund.
Sancho famously left the Etihad in 2017 after becoming frustrated at his pathway into the senior set-up under Pep Guardiola.
And the England international has gone on to become one of the most recognisable young players in Europe since arriving in Dortmund.
