The race to sign Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund is hotting up.

The young English winger, who left Manchester City for the German club in 2017, has earned plaudits for his impressive performances this season.

Sancho is only 18, but he is wanted by the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool.

According to The Sun, United are willing to bid up to £70 million for the player! And they will be rivalled by Liverpool, given the praise Jurgen Klopp had for the player recently.

The German chief told the Mirror: "Buying English players is a smart idea (for German clubs) because we would never have a chance to get Sancho.

"We are not blind – we saw him, we liked him and then we think 'Can we get him?' No. English clubs don't sell to other English clubs.

"I don't know exactly what the reason is for that but they don't do it. Now they can go to Germany which is a wonderful league."
