Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal are all keen on bringing the 18-year-old sensation back to the Premier League, however Borussia Dortmund have slammed a hefty price tag on his head.

Borussia Dortmund confirmed yesterday that are aware of the interest from major English clubs and are already bracing themselves for bids next summer. 

BVB's head of licenced player department, Sebastian Kehl, revealed that Sancho's new deal was "without a release clause" as a result of interest in the player.

"We are not naïve to not take note of other clubs' interest," he told 'Sky Germany'.

"The lads are doing a grand job right now. And thus, there will always be enquiries for the players we have here", Kehl added. 

'The Mirrir' believe that the interested parties are Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United, Liverpool with Arsenal believed to be the early favourites to land his signature. 

Senior officials at the club reportedly see the 18-year-old as having as being the next Ousmane Dembele, who stayed at Dortmund for just one year before being sold for £120m to Barcelona in 2017.

The youngster has been in fine form for the Bundesliga leaders, who are still unbeaten after seven games, after notching eight assists and one goal in 10 appearances this season.

His form was even good enough to warrant a space in the England squad, with Sancho being called up to the squad to face Spain and Croatia during the international break. 

Sancho moved to Germany from Manchester City's academy in 2017, Chelsea and Arsenal all tried to get him before he departed Manchester.
