By Manuel Meza
Tottenham Hotspur are now interested in a 20-year-old starlet also linked with Arsenal, according to a recent report.
Tottenham are reportedly gearing up to battle their North London rivals, Arsenal, for the signature of Borussia Dortmund's rising star, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens.
The 20-year-old English winger has caught the eye of both clubs after a series of impressive performances in the Bundesliga, where he's rapidly established himself as one of Dortmund's brightest talents.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, Tottenham's scouts have been tracking Bynoe-Gittens for some time, and their glowing reviews have prompted the club to consider a move.

Spurs are now contemplating whether to make an official bid for the young attacker, who is valued at a hefty €60 million by his current club, Borussia Dortmund.
Arsenal, however, are not going to let this potential signing slip by without a fight. The Gunners have also been monitoring Bynoe-Gittens and are said to be keen on adding the talented winger to their squad.
With both clubs seeking to strengthen their attacking options, it’s shaping up to be an intense transfer battle between these two fierce rivals.
Bynoe-Gittens already shown glimpses of his quality in the Bundesliga, and many believe he has what it takes to thrive in the Premier League. For Spurs, adding a player of his calibre could provide the cutting edge they need in the final third.
On the other hand, Arsenal are looking to bolster their squad depth, particularly in the forward positions.
Mikel Arteta’s side has relied heavily on Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, and bringing in a versatile winger like Bynoe-Gittens could offer much-needed rotation options and a different dimension to their attack.
One sticking point, however, is the price tag. At €60 million, both clubs will have to think carefully about whether they’re willing to make such a significant investment in a player who may not be an immediate starter.
