Borussia Dortmund has a knack for developing young English talent, and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens might just be the next breakout star following in the footsteps of Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham. The 20-year-old winger has recently found himself in the form of his life, particularly after an impressive display during Dortmund’s UEFA Champions League opener against Club Brugge.
When Dortmund was struggling in the match, Bynoe-Gittens was brought on in the 68th minute, completely changing the game. He scored two crucial goalsโhis first being a deflected effort, while the second was a masterclass of footwork and precision, using step-overs to create space before scoring with his right foot. His performance helped Dortmund secure a comfortable 3-0 win, earning him the Player of the Match accolade.
There was even a moment where the young star could have scored a hat-trick, but Serhou Guirassy was chosen to take a late penalty instead. Regardless, Bynoe-Gittens’ electric pace and incredible dribbling skills have been turning heads globally, including praise from former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock, who described him as “a defender’s worst nightmare.”
Dortmund fans have witnessed Bynoe-Gittens’ brilliance before, as he also scored two late goals in a 2-0 win over Frankfurt in August. However, his Champions League performance has elevated his status on the international stage, leading many to believe that he could become the next English sensation at Borussia Dortmund.
With his dynamic play and growing confidence, Bynoe-Gittens is definitely a name to watch in European football.
