According to a recent report by The Athletic (subscription needed), Borussia Dortmund wide player Jadon Sancho is not enjoying life in Germany and has been left ‘humiliated, scapegoated and unprotected’ by the club amid recent interest from Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Sancho’s Fruitful Campaign Despite Falling Out Of Favour At Dortmund
This latest development could give any of the player’s potential suitors a window of opportunity to negotiate a deal with Dortmund. It seems like the England international is not satisfied with his current situation at Signal Iduna Park. Hence, he might welcome a change of scenery if a club like Liverpool come calling for him in January or next summer.
Despite his recent frustrations, Sancho has managed to have a productive season under Lucien Favre’s expert stewardship. He has put in some memorable performances for the German outfit during this campaign. The 19-year-old has featured in 17 matches for the Bundesliga outfit this term, registering five goals while providing nine assists on all fronts.
He is averaging 1.7 shots, 1.7 key passes and 2.7 dribbles per game in the German top-flight (stats via whoscored). At such a young age, Sancho has already managed to represent Gareth Southgate’s England national side in 11 matches while scoring two goals for them in the process.
What Are The English Wing Wizard’s Best Attributes?
Sancho is one of the quickest wingers in European football. His speed and agility help him get to the by-line and whip in some dangerous crosses into the opposition penalty area. The England international is also a technically sound wide player who can link up play well with others around him. He has the eye to pick out a killer pass in the final third which explains why he has managed to grab nine assists so far this season.
Should The Reds Orchestrate A Move For Sancho?
Recruiting a player of Sancho’s potential and skillset will be an incredible coup for Liverpool if they can win the race to land him at the end of this campaign. The English prospect could be the final piece in Jurgen Klopp’s Anfield jigsaw as he will bring a lot of creativity to Merseyside.
Furthermore, the European champions will be able to have an all-English duo operating on the right flank. So Sancho could potentially strike up a solid partnership with his international teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool that could last for years to come. Thus, Klopp should consider making a move for the Bundesliga sensation as he is clearly not enjoying his football at Dortmund.
