Bayern Munich are reportedly among several European giants interested in signing Borussia Dortmund youngster Jamie Bynoe-Gittens.
The 20-year-old has made a strong impression at Signal Iduna Park since breaking into the first team after joining from Manchester City's youth academy.
Over the last 18 months, the young Englishman has been one of the club's standout performers, scoring nine goals and providing three assists across all competitions this season.
Bynoe-Gittens's impressive performances for BVB have also attracted interest from his home country, with Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all said to be keeping an eye on him.

Bayern Munich eyeing move for BVB's Bynoe-Gittens
Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg reports that Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich have become the latest club to express interest in Bynoe-Gittens.
Plettenberg adds that Bayern boss Vincent Kompany and sporting director Max Eberl are said to be highly impressed by the young talent and are closely monitoring his progress.
It is understood that with the likes of Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry's futures in Bavaria being uncertain, the 20-year-old Englishman is among the top options being considered by the club to bolster their attack.
Dortmund are said to be keen to retain Bynoe-Gittens, who is under contract until 2028, but the report also suggests that an offer in the region of £80m could tempt them to allow the player to depart.
Bayern are no strangers to raiding BVB of their star players, having also snapped up the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Mats Hummels, Mario Gotze and Raphael Guerreiro in recent years.

Williams being tracked by European powerhouses
In addition to Bynoe-Gittens, another player that Bayern Munich are reportedly monitoring is Athletic Bilbao and Spain winger Nico Williams.
Bild report that the Bavarians are already aware of all the contractual details of the player, including the exact value of his release clause, and plans to try to convince him to make the move are underway.
However, the Bundesliga giants are expected to face stern competition to secure the 22-year-old's services, with the likes of Arsenal and Barcelona also keen to sign him.
Willams's current contract with the La Liga outfit runs until the summer of 2027 and is believed to include a release clause of £47m.
