CHELSEA EYEING £80m DEAL FOR SANCHO

Champions League finalists Chelsea are keen to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho this summer. This is according to the report from The Sun. It was reported that the Blues are ready to meet the £80m asking price for the England international.

Chelsea are one of two teams interested in Jadon Sancho as revealed by the abovementioned report. Apart from Chelsea, Premier League rivals Manchester United are also keen on signing the former Manchester City starlet.

Manchester United wanted to sign Jadon Sancho last summer but the £108m asking price slammed on the player by his German club proved to be too much.

Borussia Dortmund were reluctant to sell Jadon Sancho last summer bur that position has changed ahead of this summer's transfer window. The German Bundesliga giants are even holding out for a successful Euro 2020 tournament for the player so as to drive up his transfer fee to the £100m mark.

Sancho is almost certain to be a part of the 26-man England squad to the European Championship next month though it's not sure whether he would make the starting XI due to the fierce competition for places from the likes of Manchester United star Marcus Rashford, Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling, West Ham United forward Jesse Lingard and Manchester United star Mason Greenwood.

England international Jadon Sancho is back to his best at Dortmund having been affected by the numerous transfer rumours linking him with a move to Manchester United last summer. He had a slow start to the season but was able to recover to play a big role for his team on the way to the German Cup title. He has also helped Dortmund to seal a place in the Champions League next season.

Jadon Sancho has an attacking return of 16 goals and 21 assists in 37 matches in all competitions for Borussia Dortmund this season.
