Three English Premier League clubs were said to be interested in signing Jamie Bynoe-Gittens before he signed a contract extension with Borussia Dortmund.

This was also confirmed by sporting director Sebastian Kehl, who said, “we are delighted that Jamie (Bynoe-Gittens) has decided ahead of time to pursue a long-term future with BVB, despite strong interest from several top clubs in Europe.”
The tabloid adds that Bynoe-Gittens tripled his salary with the contract extension, and will now earn three million euros per year plus performance related bonuses.
Bynoe-Gittens joined Borussia Dortmund in 2020 from Manchester City, and broke into the first-team less than two years later.
The highly rated winger has made a total of 29 first-team appearances for BVB so far, scoring three goals and assisting one. He has shown flashes of his incredible potential, although injuries have prevented him from making a bigger impact.
