'Welcome to Chelsea' - Blues fans love what Jadon Sancho has said amid transfer links

Jadon Sancho would be a welcome addition to the Premier League, either in January or next summer.

The forward is one of the hottest English prospects out there and has been entrusted with a place in Gareth Southgate's front three, alongside Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling on a number of occasions already.

But English fans are missing out on seeing him in action because he plies his trade for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

The teenager has six goals for club and country so far this season, adding to the 13 he netted last year.

Despite making the move to Germany, which, in fairness has been good for his development, Sancho has been linked with a return to England, with the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea interested in signing him.

Frank Lampard has done wonders with young English talent so far this season, having no choice but to trust in the youth given the transfer ban handed down by FIFA.

And Sancho has admitted that Lampard was one of the players he looked up to when he was younger.

He said: "Ronaldinho was the main guy I used to watch on YouTube.

"But I liked Frank Lampard quite a lot and Didier Drogba when they were playing for Chelsea. They were the three players I looked up to."

And that has got the Blues supporters excited about a potential move for the teen star.

Sancho is reported to be worth more than £100million by Dortmund and if Chelsea were to sign him they would need their transfer ban lifted in January.
