Chelsea handed huge Jadon Sancho transfer boost

Jadon Sancho looks set to be one of the names of the summer transfer window.

The Borussia Dortmund ace has been tipped for a big-money move to the Premier League, having been courted by the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United in the January transfer window.

The teenage star, who has established himself in Gareth Southgate's England team in the last few months, will be hot property this summer.

Sancho, who started his career with Manchester City, has scored 17 goals and provided 17 assists in 35 games for Dortmund this season, working out at almost a goal involvement per match.

Frank Lampard: Chelsea not favourites in top four race

The frontman will cost interested parties anywhere between £100million and £130million depending on the sources you believe this summer, with the three Premier League clubs that have previously shown an interest in him likely to be in the market for him again.

Sancho has previously spoken of his admiration for Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, admitting that Lampard inspired him as a player.

That could give the Blues a slight advantage when it comes to negotiations in the summer and they, along with Liverpool and Manchester United, have been handed a boost over the likelihood of a transfer by Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke.

Speaking ahead of Dortmund's Champions League exit at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain, Watzke told RMC Sport: "Jadon is a great, great talent, maybe the greatest talent in Europe currently of players under the age of 21.

"In my opinion, he has the potential to become one of the two or three best players in the world in the years to come.

"If one day he comes to us and says that he wants to leave the club, then we'll discuss it."
