Jadon sancho for dortmund

LIVERPOOL have reportedly emerged as the new favourites to sign Jadon Sancho. The unsettled Dortmund star has been heavily linked with Manchester United. But Jan Aage Fjortoft, a former footballer turned journalist, claims that it is now ex-Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp in the driving seat. And he adds that Sancho wants to leave as soon as January. It has all started to go wrong for Sancho in recent weeks at Signal Iduna Park. The 19-year-old was fined £86,000 for returning late from international duty - and subsequently dropped.He was then made to train alone in the pouring rain. He was also hauled off by boss Lucien Favre after just 36 minutes of the 4-0 hammering from Bayern Munich in November. And the South Londoner was benched for the recent Champions League trip to Barcelona. His performances, however, have largely remained in tact.He came off the bench in that game against Barcelona to score in fine fashion at the Camp Nou. And he bagged another on his return to the starting … [Read more...] about Liverpool ‘favourites to land Jadon Sancho as they leapfrog Man Utd in transfer race for unhappy Dortmund star’

JADON SANCHO was benched for Borussia Dortmund's clash with Barcelona because he was late for a team meeting, according to German reports. The Englishman has been embroiled in a row with the German club for some time but it appears to have escalated after Dortmund's Champions League defeat at Barcelona last night. When asked after the game why he was dropped, Sancho claimed he was not allowed to speak. The 19-year-old winger came off the bench to grab a late goal in his side’s 3-1 defeat at the Nou Camp last night. But Dortmund boss Lucien Favre initially dropped the former Man City player because he was late for a team meeting, according to German outlet Bild. Incredibly Favre hinted that the winger was "not fully focused" for the game.But he proved he was anything but as he replaced Nico Schulz at half-time, and netted a brilliant goal in the 77th minute. Sancho was laid in by Julian Brandt, took a touch to get it out of his feet before slamming the ball past Barca … [Read more...] about Jadon Sancho benched by boss Favre for Barcelona clash ‘for being late to team meeting’ as row with Dortmund hots up

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER is ready to hold off splashing out £80million on a centre-back this summer. The Manchester United boss-in-waiting wants give his defenders a chance to prove themselves before addressing the problem areas. Solskjaer's priority ahead of the summer is a right-winger, with SunSport revealing last month interest in England youngster Jadon Sancho at Borussia Dortmund. United are also monitoring Juventus' Douglas Costa and are long-term admirers of Inter Milan wide man Ivan Perisic, who regularly plays on the left flank but is comfortable on both wings. At the back, United have Chris Smalling, Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly, with Marcos Rojo returning from injury. Solskjaer's instant impact since taking over in December has seen an upturn in form - and hope the Norwegian's coaching could save them from breaking the world-record for a defender in the summer.LATEST MAN UTD NEWSLive BlogUTD LATEST Man Utd news LIVE: All the latest transfer gossip and updates from Old … [Read more...] about Solskjaer won’t strengthen Man Utd defence in order to secure £100m Jadon Sancho transfer

MANCHESTER UNITED target Jadon Sancho will not feature for England Under-21s at this summer’s European Championship. The 18-year-old Borussia Dortmund winger, rated at £100million, is eligible to play for the Young Lions at the tournament in Italy. And his presence would no doubt boost the country’s chances of claiming the crown and adding to several other recent successes at youth level. However, Aidy Boothroyd is likely to stick with the group who helped England qualify in impressive fashion for the showpiece. That means the likes of James Maddison, Ryan Sessegnon and Ademola Lookman are all in line to travel with the FA reluctant to bring Sancho in at their expense. And it is down to the FA believing it would send out the wrong signal regarding loyalty to the players.England boss Gareth Southgate, who awarded Sancho his first senior cap last year, said: “I think it's unlikely Sancho will go. “There are so many good attacking talents in the 21s squad, … [Read more...] about Man Utd target Jadon Sancho will miss Euro U-21s finals as England stay loyal to kids who qualified

JADON SANCHO stole the show at England training as he floored Harry Maguire with some silky skill then scored a Panenka penalty past Jordan Pickford. The Dortmund forward, 18, appears to be brimming with confidence ahead of the Euro 2020 qualifiers against Czech Republic and Montenegro. Sancho is keen to prove to Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate that he deserves his spot in Friday's starting XI. And he did exactly that during Tuesday's training session when he humiliated the Leicester City defender. The 18-year-old left Maguire on the deck after he showed off his incredible footwork skills. Sancho then effortlessly glided past him and took a shot on goal - but it was saved.If that wasn't enough to convince Southgate, then his cheeky Panenka penalty would have been. The gaffer gave him a round of applause when he scored a cheeky chip from the spot on Monday. And he left England's World Cup hero Jordan Pickford red-faced when he bravely pulled it out again. Sancho sent the Everton … [Read more...] about Jadon Sancho dazzles in England training by putting Maguire on his bum with cheeky skill before Panenka penalty
