Arsenal is on the lookout for a suitable backup to Bukayo Saka and might have found a promising candidate in Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. Valued at £25 million, the English teenager has been impressing at Signal Iduna Park and could provide the necessary depth and competition on the right-wing for Saka. While Reiss Nelson is an option, he seems more effective on the left.
Mikel Arteta, Arsenal’s manager, has successfully built a strong squad but seeks a stylistic backup for Saka. Options within the team include Amario Cozier-Duberry, a young Hale End academy product, and Ethan Nwaneri, who made history as the youngest Premier League player last year. Additionally, Brazilian player Marquinhos, currently on loan at Nantes, is versatile and capable of playing on the right-wing.
Fichajes, a Spanish outlet, reported Arsenal’s interest in Bynoe-Gittens, considering a January move to secure the young talent. Bynoe-Gittens, following in the footsteps of successful English players in the Bundesliga, has been making a mark in Germany. His contract holds a clause that could make him available for a reasonable £25 million, making him an attractive prospect for the Gunners.
In terms of left-footed right-wingers, the report highlights Kai Havertz and Fabio Vieira as potential fits, although neither is considered the best in that position. The quest for an ideal backup to Saka continues, emphasizing the importance of finding the right stylistic match to maintain squad depth and versatility.
Looking ahead, Arsenal has promising talents within their ranks, like Amario Cozier-Duberry, who showcased his potential during the preseason campaign. Ethan Nwaneri, who made a remarkable entry into the Premier League as the youngest player, and Marquinhos, currently gaining experience on loan, also represent hopeful prospects for the right-wing role.
