Jadon Malik Sancho (born 25 March 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund. He was previously a youth player with Watford and Manchester City. An England youth international, Sancho was part of the squad that won the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

Early life

Sancho was born in London to parents from Trinidad and Tobago.[4]

Club career

Early career

Sancho joined Watford at the age of seven. In March 2015 at the age of 14 Sancho moved to Manchester City for an initial fee of £66,000 under the EPPP which could rise to £500,000 with add ons.[5] Sancho continued to impress in the Manchester City academy and was one of a trio of players that the Manchester City chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, said would be fast tracked into the senior set up in May 2017.[6][7] In July 2017, Sancho was omitted from Manchester City's pre season tour squad due to a dispute over assurances of playing time in a new contract.[8][9][10] It was subsequently reported that Sancho was attempting to force a move away from the club.[11][12]

Borussia Dortmund

On 31 August 2017, Sancho joined Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund for a fee reported to be in the region of £8 million and was immediately included in the first team squad taking the number 7 recently vacated by Ousmane Dembélé.[13][14][15] On 21 October 2017, Sancho made his debut for the club against Eintracht Frankfurt, coming on as a substitute with 6 minutes left of the game becoming the first Englishman to play a Bundesliga match for Dortmund.[16] Sancho made his first league start for Dortmund on 14 January 2018, hitting the woodwork in a goalless draw with VfL Wolfsburg.[17] He scored his first professional goal on 21 April 2018. It was the first goal in a 4–0 victory against Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and he also assisted two other goals in the same match.[18]

International career

Sancho has been capped by England youth teams, at under-16, under-17 and under-19 levels.

In May 2017, Sancho was part of the England Under-17 side that reached the final of the UEFA European Under-17 Championship, he was named player of the tournament for his performances.[19] In September 2017, Sancho was named in England's squad for the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup but the player's new German club resisted the call up.[20] The two sides eventually reached an agreement where he would be available for the group stages of the competition but his participation was not guaranteed if England progressed to the knock out rounds.[21] On 8 October 2017, he scored twice in England U17's first match, against Chile U17.[22] On 16 October, the eve of England's round of 16 tie against Japan, he was withdrawn from the competition by Borussia Dortmund.[23]

On 2 November 2017, Sancho was called up to the England U19 squad for the first time, joining them for 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification matches against the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Group 8's host nation side Bulgaria.[24] He made his first start at U19 level in the 6–0 victory against the Faroes, lasting seventy minutes before being substituted for Ben Brereton;[25] He replaced Brereton on the 66th minute in the win over Iceland, which secured progression to the elite round.[26] He scored the only goal of the game against Bulgaria to help England top their group.[27] Coming on as a substitute for Brereton, Sancho scored the last of the goals in England's 4–1 win over Hungary in the first match of the elite round on 21 March 2018.[28]

Following an impressive start to the 2018–19 season, Sancho was called up to the England senior squad for the first time on 4 October 2018 in preparation for UEFA Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain.[29]
