Ace Borussia Dortmund and England national, Jadon Sancho, has posted on social media his frustrations and dissatisfaction over losing in the Champions League to Paris Saint-Germain after an in-form Neymar drilled in two goals to send the hot winger’s team out of the tournament.
In the match against PSG, Sancho was key to the major part of Dortmund’s play despite the visitors being unable to neutralise the French champions.
The ex-Manchester City youngster and former Watford player has garnered a huge following on the English League side and has been touted as a prized addition to Chelsea as a likely solution to Chelsea’s right wing position under the vigilance of Frank Lampard. Fans of both the club and the young teenage star are indeed hopeful of, and optimistic about, a major transfer development this summer.
Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool have all been heavily monitoring his astounding progress and are keen to lure him back to the English league as the incredibly talented 19-year-old is currently rated as one of the brightest young talents in the global football scene.
Amongst the three clubs, Chelsea appears to have the scales tipped in their favour as in his youth Sancho is known to have harboured admiration for Chelsea and Frank Lampard in the latter’s playing days.
Borussia Dortmund’s chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke has not hesitated in labelling the youngster the best footballer he has ever seen under the age of 21 and even revealed, albeit hesitantly in this instance, that there could be discussions over Sancho’s future should the need arise.
“If one day he comes to us and says that he wants to leave the club, then we’ll discuss it,” Watzke told RMC Sport.
“Jadon is a great, great talent, maybe the greatest talent in Europe currently of players under the age of 21.
“In my opinion, he has the potential to become one of the two or three best players in the world in the years to come.”
On his official Instragram account Sancho posted a reaction to losing out to PSG.
In a caption to a picture form the game he wrote: “Just not good enough.”
In all of his 23 Bundesliga appearances this season itself, Sancho has already amassed 14 goals and 15 assists without showing any indications of him slowing down in his performance. He has scored altogether 27 goals and made 34 assists in the league since he moved to Dortmund from Manchester City in January 2018.
With Chelsea fans banking on the hope that the Camberwell-born Londoner is the answer to their prayers as the ideal right wing reinforcement adding attacking power to galvanize their team who have of late been inspiring with breathtaking victories.
With Pedro and Willian expected to move on in the near future, and the duo of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Christian Pulisic capable of blending in with Sancho’s dazzling skills to create a formidable attacking line up, all signs point to a dynamic team made in football heaven. Already as it were, Tammy Abraham and Sancho are buddies who have forged a strong bond playing togeether in England’s youth teams prior to their playing partnership emergence at the senior level.
All it needs is for Lampard to convince the young Sancho that his future unerringly lies with Chelsea, provided that the Blues are able to meet all of Dortmund’s demands, and the final outcome could well be the definitive masterstroke of a brilliant transfer.
