Borussia Dortmund's 10 best signings of the decade (2010-2019)

#9 Jadon Sancho (2017)

Jadon Sancho's talents have stunned everyone since his move to Dortmund

Another incredible coup for Dortmund, English teenager Jadon Sancho arrived at the Westfalenstadion in the summer of 2017 after leaving Manchester City’s academy, fearing that playing time for the Premier League giants would simply be impossible. The Bundesliga side paid around £8m for the 17-year old, handing him his first professional deal in the process.

It was expected that Sancho would be a talent for the future, but instead, eyes were opened when he was brought into the first team at Dortmund in October 2017, becoming the first Englishman to play a Bundesliga match for the side in the process. Later in the season, he became a first-team regular, albeit from the substitute’s bench, and ended the campaign with his first professional goal and assists.

Nobody really expected him to kick on in the way he did during his second season at the club, though; the speedy forward played 34 Bundesliga matches, scoring 12 goals and making 14 assists, was named in the league’s Team of the Season, and even became the first player born in the 2000’s to score a Champions League goal.

The current season has seen rumours of the England international moving back to the Premier League, but Dortmund seem determined to keep their man – and with 9 goals and 9 assists thus far, it’s hardly surprising.
