Man City confident keeping hold of Jadon Sancho

Manchester City are confident securing Jadon Sancho to a new deal.

City will ward off interest in the player they believe will be their next English superstar by handing 16-year-old Sancho a bumper pay rise and new three-year contract, says the Daily Mail.

City signed the left winger in March 2015, paying Watford a fee rising to £500,000.

The teenager's progress has been so rapid that Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham have all been circling in a bid to exploit rumours that Sancho may have been homesick for the south.

Now, encouraged by manager Pep Guardiola, City have moved to increase the terms of Sancho's current deal, which was only signed by the youngster last summer.

The exact terms of the contract are not known but it will expire in the summer of 2020.
