Pundit Criticizes Sky Sports Journalist for £83m Tottenham Transfer Claim

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly monitoring 20-year-old winger Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, according to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Borussia Dortmund have placed a hefty £83 million price tag on the player.

Meanwhile, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal are also said to be keeping a close eye on the situation, with Dortmund potentially open to selling their young star.

However, such reports have been dismissed in North London.

In an exclusive interview with Tottenham News, BBC Sport pundit Paul Robinson criticized the speculation, stating:

“The journalist clearly doesn’t know Tottenham Hotspur very well if he’s linking them with an £83 million player – it’s poor journalism for me.”

Tottenham’s involvement in the race for Bynoe-Gittens seems improbable, given Daniel Levy’s notorious reluctance to spend heavily.

This issue has even been publicly acknowledged by players like Cristian Romero.

As a result, it’s unlikely Spurs will pursue the highly sought-after winger.

Since leaving Manchester City in 2021, Bynoe-Gittens has excelled at Dortmund, making 80 appearances and delivering standout performances.

This season alone, he has scored five goals and provided three assists in the Bundesliga, drawing interest from top clubs across Europe and significantly raising his market value.

Dubbed the “next Sancho, Haaland, or Bellingham” by Karl-Heinz Riedle (The Sun), Bynoe-Gittens has a bright future ahead.

However, such praise comes with a steep price tag, effectively putting him out of reach for Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs.

Adding to fans’ frustrations, protests against Levy’s leadership are planned during upcoming matches (GiveMeSport).

Tottenham’s apparent inability to compete for players like Bynoe-Gittens is likely to fuel further discontent with the club’s ownership.
