Dortmund eye Spurs prodigy Moore as Gittens replacement | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund are interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur forward Mikey Moore this summer (h/t BILD).

Die Borussen are prioritising a new winger following the departure of Jamie Gittens to Chelsea in a lucrative deal worth £52.5 million.

They want to invest in a low-cost option with huge potential, and Moore fits the criteria.

After standing out in the youth ranks, the 17-year-old had his breakthrough with Spurs last season, scoring his first senior goal against IF Elfsborg in the Europa League.

Despite earning comparisons with Neymar, the English prospect’s development was impacted by fitness concerns in the second half of the campaign.

Dortmund want to continue their strategy of signing and developing young players before selling them for a profit.

The Bundesliga giants are ready to spend up to €30m on Moore, while Spurs are only willing to loan him out with an option to buy.

Moore could be tempted to follow in the footsteps of his compatriots Jude Bellingham, Jadon Sancho and Gittens, who were big hits at Dortmund.

His game time could be limited this season, with Spurs pursuing Brentford forward Yoane Wissa.

Dortmund are accelerating the efforts to bolster their attack after losing out on Belgian winger Johan Bakayoko to RB Leipzig.

They are also set to miss out on Freiburg’s Japanese winger Ritsu Doan, who has decided to join Eintracht Frankfurt.

Dortmund are planning to extend star forward Karim Adeyemi’s contract to fend off interest from elsewhere.

They have signed midfielder Jobe Bellingham and goalkeeper Patrick Drewes this summer.
