According to journalist Christian Falk, Tottenham are prepared to spend big money on the player and they could offer around €100 million. They wanted to sign him in January as well.

“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,” he told SportBILD.

“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 20-year-old is highly rated in the Bundesliga and he has already established himself as a player for Dortmund.

There is no doubt that he could be an asset for Tottenham if they can get the deal done.

The North London club need more quality and depth in the attacking unit and the versatile 20-year-old would be the ideal acquisition.

He is capable of slotting anywhere across the front three and he will add goals and creativity to the side.

The player has 11 goals and four assists to his name this season.

His numbers are likely to improve when he is playing in a better team alongside quality players.

The €100 million deal for Gittens would be a club record one for Spurs, and it remains to be seen whether Daniel Levy is willing to sanction the move in the summer.

Tottenham need more quality if they want to fight with the elite clubs.

Gittens is a prodigious young talent with a bright future, and he is expected to develop into a world-class player with the right guidance.

He could end up justifying the outlay in the near future. Spurs should do everything in their power to get the deal done.
