PSG intent on Sancho

According to 'Sky Sports News' French giants PSG are keen to bring English starlet Jadon Sancho to the Parc des Princes  in the near future, with them monitoring Sancho very closely after his excellent start to the season.

Sancho has five goals and eight assists in 13 appearances so far this season; given the player has only started a handful of those games, his stats are even more impressive.

Many Premier League clubs are also keen to bring Sancho home to the English top flight, including Arsenal and Manchester United, however former club Manchester City have all but ruled out re-signing the player. 

City boss Pep Guardiola spoke of the speculation around the club moving to bring Sancho back to Manchester: "I think when he decided to move on from here, it is because he doesn't want to be here. Maybe he thought he would get more minutes at Dortmund and I can understand that."

Sancho rejected the offer of his first professional deal with the reigning Premier League champions, instead deciding to move to the Bundesliga in search of more regular first team football, which he has more than made the most of in Germany so far.

If PSG or any other club want to sign Sancho, they will have to shell out a staggering £40 million for the pleasure. And, in light of the player's extension and improved terms at the Westfalenstadion, any club will have to add a sumptuous pay packet to tempt the player to join them.

Nevertheless, in spite of all the interest from the clubs around Europe, Sancho is happy to be in Dortmund for the time being. 

The youngster discussed his move abroad in October, stating: "Moving away from home was the biggest challenge. Leaving my mum and my sisters behind; I miss them a lot. But I wanted to do what was best for me, and that was what I did. Not everyone is comfortable moving from home. If you're ready to play abroad and you believe in yourself, why not?"
