Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund has extended the contract with a promising talent. The BVB attacker in question should become the face of the future.
Contract negotiations have been underway at runner-up Borussia Dortmund in the last few days. BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl negotiated intensively with a player who represents the future of the black and yellow: Jamie Bynoe-Gittens! Now there has been a breakthrough in poker for the 19-year-old attacker, who has now signed a new contract.
Bynoe-Gittens’ working paper was previously dated until 2025, and his new contract now runs until 2028, as BVB announced on Monday afternoon. With this, BVB is setting an important exclamation mark two days before the Champions League duel against AC Milan, because the youngster, who came to the Ruhr area from Manchester City’s youth team in the summer of 2020, was also intensively courted by other clubs.
“Jamie is a promise for the future,” said sports director Kehl, pleased about the extension and highlighting the 19-year-old Englishman’s abilities: “A winger who has extremely high speed, is constantly looking for one-on-one situations and gets through them can solve his technical quality, create scoring opportunities for teammates or finish himself.
BVB is “convinced that its development is far from complete and we are pleased that Jamie has decided early on for a long-term future at BVB despite the great interest from several top clubs in Europe,” Kehl continued.
Bynoe-Gittens himself said he was “proud” that Borussia Dortmund had given him the opportunity to “sign such a long-term contract.”
“BVB is always the first point of contact” for Bynoe-Gittens
BVB was always there for him, even in the “somewhat difficult phases of the last few months due to injuries”. He always felt that the club believed in him.
“I feel incredibly comfortable in this team, in this city, in this stadium. BVB was always my first point of contact because they have shown over many years that they give young players playing time at the highest level if they impress with their performance “, revealed the teenager.
“I hope that I can take the next step together with my club and would like to help my team with goals, assists and hard work on the pitch,” said Bynoe-Gittens.
