England haven’t selected a player who was playing his club football outside of England since Joe Hart during his loan spell with Torino in the 2016/17 season. Last summer, Sancho took the gamble leaving Manchester City to join Borussia Dortmund in Germany.

Big things were expected of the winger when he joined Dortmund, and he was given the number seven shirt, which had most recently been worn by Ousmane Dembele.

He was made to wait his turn in Germany, but really started to make an impact in the back half of last season. He may just be something England don’t have at the moment, as at the World Cup, the only natural winger in the squad was Raheem Sterling.

Because of this, England seemed quite one-dimensional, and were at times too easy to defend against. Sancho could really give them another option.
