Harry Kane subbed off

When Harry Kane hobbled off with an injury in the Bundesliga encounter against Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich was dealt a serious setback. Half an hour into the Bundesliga game, Kane was spotted indicating that he needed medical assistance. Following his treatment on the pitch, Bayern made the decision to substitute Thomas Muller for him. Prior to his replacement, Kane had an unusually quiet game, managing only 11 touches as Jamie Gittens, a fellow Englishman, gave his team a 1-0 lead.

After dummying the ball beyond Konrad Laimer, who has never been a slouch himself, the 20-year-old sped through the Austrian and used his weaker left foot to shoot the ball beyond Manuel Neuer. With Nuri Sahin's team playing with energy in the closing third, making offensive runs as well as getting shots across at Neuer's goal, Dortmund is more than deserving of the victory. Although it's unclear if they can defeat Bayern Munich, who have won all six of their Bundesliga games so far this season, Borussia Dortmund's performance is unquestionably encouraging.

Jamie Gittens inquired by Premier League clubs

Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, as well as Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Jamie Gittens, according to Sky in Germany, but they will have a difficult time persuading him to make the transfer. Dortmund thinks the 20-year-old winger, who has a contract through 2028, will one day be worth €100 million. He has been in outstanding form this year, netting seven goals and dishing out four assists across all competitions.

The story makes it apparent that Jamie Gittens eventually would like to go back to the English Premier League, even though he has no intentions to make a switch in January or during the summer. After failing to establish himself in the first squad, the England Under-21 international left Manchester City's development program in 2022 to head to Germany. However, he has performed in 76 matches for Borussia Dortmund since his transfer.
