BVB starlet Sancho excited for Tottenham homecoming

Jadon Sancho is eager to fire for Borussia Dortmund on his return to England at Wembley tomorrow night.

Sancho, who left Manchester City for Dortmund in 2017, will line-up against Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League last-16 first leg.

"I'll be playing in front of my family, which is something I've wanted to do since I was a young boy," Sancho said.

"I'd love to play in front of my home town. Hopefully I can show London people what I'm about."

The 18-year-old added that he had not become distracted by the attention he's received since breaking onto the scene in Bundesliga.

"Obviously I've seen Twitter things, but I don't ask questions really," he said. "I just stay focused on what I'm doing, and just keep going forward.

"This is all crazy. I never knew you could be so well-known over your success. I thought if you are doing well everyone talks, obviously the fans, but I never knew they would take so much interest."
