Jadon Sancho has been the talk of the town over the last few transfer windows. The English winger who is currently playing for Borrusia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, is known to be the player of interest and with a number of different suitors.

Sancho has expressed immense goal scoring and creative talent in the three years he has spent in the Dortmund first team. In 65 league appearances, the England international has scored 25 times. These are impressive numbers for a player who is only 19 years old.

Sancho is considered to be the next best thing in European football and it's no coincidence that he is a first-team regular with BVB. Manager Lucien Favre is a big fan of him and so are the infamous yellow wall at the Westfalenstadion.

This season alone, the Englishman has scored a whopping 14 goals and provided 15 assists. To get into double figures for both tallies is a rarity even for the most talented midfielders; so to do so at a young age is impressive.

Dortmund will obviously do all they can to keep him. However, they will know good things don't last forever. Indeed, the German club have quite a habit of bidding farewell to young players only for them to become stars elsewhere.

So, without further ado, here are the three likely destinations for Jadon Sancho should he decide to return to the Premier League...


#3 Manchester United

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has got the best out of some young Red Devils this season.

Several news outlets, some more reliable than others, are beginning to link Jadon Sancho with a move to Manchester United. The Red Devils sit in eighth of the Premier League table and have struggled to pick up form this season.

Although, it cannot be disputed that Ole Gunnar Solskjær has done a terrific job with his young players. Indeed, it is the likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Marcus Rashford, and Brandon Williams that have been in impressive form this season.

Sancho would be in safe hands under Solskjær as he knows all there is to know about being a world class attacker. Although, the Englishman will have to consider his past loyalties with Manchester City. If he decides that a move to Old Trafford would benefit him, then he would receive the reward of a good man-manager but faced with the task of climbing the league table.

#2 Chelsea

Frank Lampard is starting to prove he's the man for the Chelsea job.

Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund have had some positive transfer business going on in the last few seasons. Not only did Chelsea sign Christian Pulisic from the BVB, but they also loaned out their own Michy Batshuayi, who was a real cult hero during his time at the Signal Iduna Park.

Chelsea sit in fourth place of the Premier League table and it's down to the work of Frank Lampard. There were times this season where critics doubted he was the man for the job but one thing is for sure, Lampard has ensured that a new dynamic has been added to the club that wasn't there beforehand - trust in the youth.

For many years, Stamford Bridge has been known to neglect young talents and send them on continous loan spells but Lampard has identified this problem and is dealing with it. The likes of Tammy Abraham, Reece James and Mason Mount have all benefited from his work with youth this season so should Jadon Sancho choose Chelsea, he would be in safe hands.

#1 Liverpool

Liverpool is the best team in the world right now and playing at Anfield is the dream for any young player. The Kop are known to give a warm welcome to their players and the aura around the club is a bright one right now.

Jürgen Klopp has made some bright changes since he was unveiled as manager and this this has finally translated into reaching the summit of the league table. They sit top of the league and are yet to lose a single game. It is a very real possibility that the Reds will win the league undefeated.

Klopp only tends to sign players he feels will benefit his side so the fact that he has shown interest in Jadon Sancho is a good sign for the young player. Liverpool's attack is second to none but they are known to lack depth in this regard and sometimes, Mohamed Salah can be inconsistent so signing Sancho would be of great benefit to the European champions.
