Borussia Dortmund is not having the best start to the season in its history. Nuri Sahin is struggling to impose his mark on a team that he took over at the start of the season. He didn’t arrive from just anywhere either since he was Edin Terzic’s assistant last season. The latter experienced ups and downs at the club. Long contested, he restored his image at the end of his adventure by leading the BvB to the final of the Champions League in the spring, simply beaten by a decidedly insatiable Real Madrid.
In the Bundesliga, Dortmund is only 5th, already ten lengths behind its best rival, Bayern Munich, whom it faces this Saturday at 6:30 p.m. On paper, this new Klassicker seems unbalanced as the Bavarians seem above the rest. The Ruhr club has already lost four times in just 11 days, including a memorable 5-1 loss on the Stuttgart pitch. It is rather on the European scene, like last year, that Sahin’s troops are shining this season. They are also 4th after 5 days.
Bynoe-Gittens is already in the sights of the best English clubs
Last Wednesday, the Borussen crushed Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia 3-0. The first goal of the evening was the work of their best player since the start of the season, a certain Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. At 20 years old, the winger has a string of top-flight performances. Already stunning against Club Bruges a few weeks ago, the Englishman did it again. In the Champions League, he displays astonishing statistics with 4 goals and 1 assist in 5 matches. In the German championship, he has 3 goals and 3 goals in 11 outings.
The former Manchester City man, who arrived in Germany at just 16 years old (for around 100,000 euros in training costs), the same summer as Jude Bellingham and when Jadon Sancho was already shining, became the X factor of Borussia Dortmund. He is promised a great future and after Sky Sport GermanyJamie Bynoe-Gittens is already in the sights of the main English clubs: Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham. Discussions have even already taken place with the management of the BvB, who set a price: €100 million. But Dortmund are in no rush to sell either since the player is under contract until 2028 after extending a year ago.
