The former England international has been frozen out at Manchester United by Erik ten Hag following the pair’s public argument regarding his effort levels in training.

Sancho has been banished from the first-team set-up and is expected to leave Old Trafford during the January transfer window.

Clubs in the Saudi Pro league have been linked with a move for Sancho, while Juventus are reportedly another team keeping close tabs on his potential availability.

In addition, Borussia Dortmund are understood to be keen on re-signing the Englishman, who left the Signal Iduna Park for €85 million in 2021.

90min have reported that Sancho is part of Dortmund’s plans for the upcoming winter transfer window, with a loan move being touted as an option.

Furthermore, the Bundesliga club are also open to loaning out Bynoe-Gittens in order to make room for Sancho, according to 90min.

The report states that a loan move to a fellow German top flight club is deemed the most likely option, but talk that Bynoe-Gittens may be available - even if it’s only on loan - may alert Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.

Bynoe-Gittens to Arsenal?

The Gunners have been long-term admirers of Bynoe-Gittens and Bild recently reported that Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle United are interested in the young Englishman, despite the fact he signed a new long-term deal at Dortmund in early October.

Either way, Dortmund’s willingness to send Bynoe-Gittens on loan could tempt Arsenal into pursuing a short-term deal given their admiration for the player.

The Gunners would obviously prefer to sign the attacking midfielder permanently, but Dortmund are reportedly only willing to loan him out.

As a result, a move may seem unlikely, but if Arsenal want a short-term fix then Bynoe-Gittens fits that bill and a deal could be made possible by Sancho leaving Man Utd.
