Chelsea told what they must do to complete Jadon Sancho transfer ahead of Manchester United

There looked set to be a big clamour for Jadon Sancho in the summer transfer window.

The young Englishman, who has just turned 20, has been in flying form for Borussia Dortmund in the Bunedsliga in the past two seasons.

Sancho, who was on the books of Manchester City as a youth, has scored 17 goals and registered 20 assists in 36 games for Dortmund this season, with his latest assist coming in the 2-0 win over Wolfsburg on Saturday, coming off the bench to lay one on a plate for Achraf Hakimi.

Those, added to the 13 goals and 19 assists he notched last season make him one of the hottest young talents in Europe.

Chelsea Q&A with Oliver Harbord

He has attracted interest from a number of Premier League clubs, namely Chelsea and Manchester United, although the coronavirus crisis and the impending financial restrictions that clubs will have as a result could mean he stays in Germany for another season.

But, Chelsea have been told how they can complete the transfer this summer and they must be willing to splash the cash.

According to Bild in Germany, Dortmund are preparing to have the forward with them again next season, but they would be willling to listen to offers of £89million.

Bild's Christian Falk, speaking to LFC Transfer Room said: "It’s clear to me that English fans highly rate Jadon Sancho.

"No one at Dortmund I spoke to thinks he will be sold this summer, but if an offer comes in over 100 million euros, his transfer will be considered.

"The fact is Sancho excites the Premier League, and he will continue to maintain their interest in him through 2021."

And Chelsea were given a boost in that Liverpool have not registered an interest.

Falk added: "So far we have no sign that Liverpool has ever had interest in Jadon Sancho, and if Jurgen Klopp really wanted to sign him, Dortmund would have already known that – Klopp would never try and bring a player from BVB without first contacting the German side."
