Sancho’s performance has caught the eye

He has been labelled England’s brightest talent by Rio Ferdinand, but because he plies his trade in Germany, he remains a bit of an enigma to many Three Lions fans.Here, talkSPORT.com takes a detailed look at the ex-Manchester City man’s life in football up to this point.4

Who is Jadon Sancho?

Born in London to parents from Trinidad and Tobago, Sancho spent most of his childhood at Watford. He joined the Hornets as a seven-year-old and spent seven years of his youth career there, rising through the ranks and leaving a lasting impression on staff.In 2015, the forward moved to Manchester City for an initial fee of 66,000 under the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP) although that could rise to 500,000 with add-ons.4

Sancho was highly-rated at City

Sancho continued to go from strength-to-strength and quickly established himself as one of the academy’s brightest stars.After two years at City, chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak revealed Sancho would be fast-tracked into the senior set-up.However, in July 2017, Sancho was omitted from the pre-season tour squad due to a dispute over assurances of playing time in a new contract. He subsequently began to force a move away from the club. On 31 August 2017, Sancho joined Borussia Dortmund for a reported fee of 8million. The club immediately awarded him the number 7 shirt which had been vacated by Barcelona-bound Ousmane Dembele.He had to wait for his opportunities with Dortmund. Sancho became the first Englishman to play a Bundesliga match for the club when he made his debut in October 2017 against Eintracht Frankfurt.His first goal in professional football came on April 21 earlier this year. He opened the scoring in a 4-0 victory over Wolfsburg, a game in which he also notched two assists.4

The teenager has become of the most exciting talents in the Bundesliga

Since the beginning of the 2018/19 campaign, Sancho has mainly featured from the bench but made his first start of the season against Ausburg in October.Sancho has been a regular goalscorer for England’s under-16s, under-17s and under-19s, however he has never appeared for the under-21s as Southgate opts to fast-track him into the senior set-up.
