In a recent interview with Sky Germany (via the Daily Mirror), former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann has confirmed the Reds’ interest in signing Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho and said, “What I hear is that Liverpool have great interest.
“I would imagine that next summer they could become one of the biggest interested parties.
“He’s from Manchester City and I do not know if he would come back again, and it’s a thing for Manchester United, too, if they’ve ever been to the rivals.”
The Majestic Rise Of Jadon Sancho In German Football
The English prospect has enjoyed a fantastic spell at Dortmund thus far since arriving from Manchester City in the summer of 2017. He is undoubtedly one of the most exciting young players in European football as he has put in numerous match-winning displays for Lucian Favre’s side over the past couple of years.
Sancho has been at the peak of his powers this season after he netted four goals and grabbed seven assists in 11 matches for Dortmund in multiple competitions. The 19-year-old has a good football IQ and has already proven his worth as a wide player at the highest level. He has recently emerged as an essential member of Gareth Southgate’s England national team. The ex-Man City winger has secured eight international caps for the Three Lions while registering two goals in the process.
What Will The English Rising Star Add To Klopp’s Side?
Sancho can make some dangerous runs down the right flank without losing possession of the ball. He tends to beat his marker using his incredible pace and agility down the wide areas. The English whizkid loves to create chances for others around him and is very unselfish in the way he approaches the beautiful game. The teenage starlet can also contribute by scoring a few goals in the final third, which makes him an excellent fit for Jurgen Klopp’s brand of football at Anfield.
Is Sancho The Right Choice For The Reds?
The potential acquisition of a winger of Sancho’s potential will undeniably be a massive coup for the European champions. He will not only bolster the quality of Klopp’s first-team but will also provide more competition for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane at the Merseyside club.
Klopp has proven that he can nurture young players and help them reach their true potential. The recent emergence of young English talents like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez and Rhian Brewster at Anfield should serve as proof that Liverpool could be a dream destination for Sancho.
Klopp is trying to establish a winning culture at Merseyside, so recruiting the English prospect could go a long way in helping the German head coach achieve that goal. Sancho is a star in the making and has already shown signs of becoming one of the greatest players of his generation.
