What have Dortmund said?
After he penned fresh terms which runs until 2028, Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl said: “We are convinced that his development is far from complete and are pleased that Jamie has decided ahead of time for a long-term future at BVB despite the great interest of several top clubs in Europe.”
Gittens was called 'Bynoe-Gittens' before but he requested to have his surname changed. He revealed the reasoning for abandoning the double-barrel name as his father's request. He said: "Both are my father's names, but he said he thinks it's better if I'm just called Gittens because it's shorter.
"Most people know him as Gittens, so in the future, I'll only wear Gittens", he told Dortmund's official website.
