Jamie Gittens: Who is Borussia Dortmund and England winger?

First there was Jadon Sancho, then there was Jude Bellingham. Is Jamie Gittens about to become Borussia Dortmund’s next English star?

The 20-year-old England youth international suddenly finds himself in the form of his life.

On Wednesday, his Dortmund side were struggling at home to Club Brugge in their Champions League opener – that was until they brought him on in the 68th minute.

Gittens scored Dortmund’s first two – his opener may have been a fortunate deflection, but his second was a brilliant effort after performing a multitude of step-overs before cutting on to his right.

Inspired by his performance Dortmund ended up comfortable 3-0 winners, while Gittens was named player of the match.

He may have even have had a hat-trick had Serhou Guirassy not been picked to take a late penalty ahead of him.

“Electric, the speed he has, the movement of the hips, as a defender it is your worst nightmare,” former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock told BBC Champions League Match of the Day.

“You can’t get anywhere near him, such is the speed of feet.”

The winger’s instant and sizeable impact off the bench is not new to Dortmund fans – he also scored two late goals in a 2-0 win over Frankfurt in August.

But his performance in the Champions League has global supporters taking note.
