Jadon Sancho: What Next For The English Sensation.

By -
One of the hottest prospects in the football world right now is Jadon Sancho. He is no push over when it comes to naming stand out performers since he broke into the scene couple of years ago.

The former Watford Academy player who grew up as an ardent Chelsea supporter, joined Manchester City at the age of 14 in March 2015. He continued to excel at the City academy prompting the club's chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak fast tracked him into the senior teams in May 2017.

However, the Kennington raised teenager left for BundesLiga side Borussia Dortmund in August after disputes over assurance of playing time in a new contract talk with Manchester City a month earlier. Moving for a fee is believed to be in the region of £8m and was included immediately in the first team.

Since then, Sancho has never looked back in his carer and has notched an impressive 27 goals in 69 appearances for The Black and Yellows. He has also represented the Three Lions, scoring 2 goals in 11 outings for Gareth Southgate side.

Sancho's rise has now attract interests from top European teams with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool among others linked with a move for the 20 years old.

Speaking to Sport Bild last week, Dortmund captain Marco Reus said " Jadon is an outstanding player and will definitely remain in demand by many clubs" .

" He is now playing on a higher level than last year and would be extremely valuable in achieving our goals" .

He continued by saying " I would advise him to stay at BVB for another year, maybe two. From my point of view, there is no better place for him at the moment" .

Dortmund lies second, four points behind league leaders Bayern München in the BundesLiga and are out of the UEFA Champions League and the DFB Pokal. The league presents the only hope of silverware for the club this season and it remains to be seen whether they could convince the pacey winger to stay more years at the club.

With the European championships moved to 2021, Sancho will also be cautious of a move in order not to disrupt his chances of making it into the starting line up in England's squad in the next year's competition.

Will he join Manchester United and become their poster boy in the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer' s rebuild ? Or join Frank Lampard' s rejuvenating Chelsea to form an all English attacking trio alongside Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson Odoi ? Or maybe Jürgen Klopp's impressive side, Liverpool will be his preferred destination.

It remains to be seen what will be the decision of one of football's brightest talent.

Ralf Rangnick proffered a permanent solution but United choose to make more casualties with Erik Ten Hag

Ralf Rangnick appeared to have unraveled the puzzle at Manchester United during his short stint as the club's interim manager but the hierarchy did not take heed to his priceless advice. Albeit the German did not enjoy the best of time in the helm of affairs in Old Trafford, Rangnick, who had proven to be more of a administrative minded man prior to his appointment at the club did left blueprints that could have healed the club completely. Looking back and you'll realize it could have been more worth it had speculations of him becoming the club's Director after leaving the Coaching role come to pass. Even in his early days as a professional football coach, Rangnick did not have a reputation of thriving when the stake is high but he flourishes more in an environment that gives him the avenue to build from scratch. The notion was proven truth during his time at Stuttgart, Hannover and even Schalke, where he helped all these teams finesse nightmares into glamour. His appointme

A sign of what is to come but no excuse for Chelsea's late capitulation in the London derby

By -

Chelsea ended a run of three straight home defeats to Arsenal in an enthralling London derby match in the Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening. While many will see it as a positive omen for the host, which is rightly so, it was very poor game management by both the players and the manager to allow the visitors snatch a point later on the night. Arsenal was there for the taking. It was the worst display by Mikel Arteta's side in recent years and despite having a two goal cushion, Mauricio Pochettino's side were unable to see out the win from a very comfortable position. Cole Palmer and Mykaylo Mudryk continue to show signs of finally settling into their rhythm under Mauricio Pochettino, much to the delight of the home support as the Blues were all over their rival from the North for the first 70 minutes in the Bridge. Both players also scored in either half, with Mykaylo Mudryk scoring his first ever Chelsea goal in the Stamford Bridge with a wonderful cross-cum-shot, which caugh
