Yet the 59-cap German international, speaking to Sky Germany, revealed the Reds are weighing up the possibility of trying to bring Jadon Sancho to Anfield, What I hear is that Liverpool have great interest in Sancho. I would imagine that next season they could become one of the biggest interested parties. Football fans can book Premier League Tickets on our website on exclusively discounted prices.
Firstly, the Premier League leaders will be in the market for inclusive forward this summer. Though Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané are heading into their prime years, it would be immature for such an intelligent recruitment team not to be working on the next phase of the team’s evolution.
By the end of the current campaign, both will be 28 and there’s no clear line of succession in sight with Harvey Elliott only turning 17 next April. When the 2019/20 season ends, Sancho will be 20. He’ll have two full years of Bundesliga action under his belt having only been a bit part player during the 2017/18 season as well as two Champions League campaigns.
He meets the criteria in terms of age and ability. He could call the right side of Liverpool’s attack home for four or five years. That would allow Elliott or another potentially world-class player to ready themselves to takeover if or when he moves on.
Sancho fits the age profile and he’s hugely marketable, something the Reds are keen to explore having seen how they wanted to negotiate the deal with Nike. However, the only thing that really matters to Liverpool when it comes to recruitment is whether or not he’s someone who can be developed by Jürgen Klopp and his staff.
Sancho is one of the most exciting teenagers in world football. He’s a creative hub for Dortmund and in the 3,688 Bundesliga minutes he’s appeared in, he’s supplied 23 assists. But the 19-year-old is not just a creative force. He’s also a goal scorer and a ball carrier. His per-90 averages are nothing short of exceptional and there’s a lot of intrigue over whether or not he could transfer what he does and have a similar impact on the Premier League.
The Dortmund No.7 has been involved in 0.97 goals in the Bundesliga per 90 minutes (0.52 assists plus 0.45 goals). He’s creating 0.51 Big Chances, too, which shows he’s a regular source of high-quality opportunities for BVB’s attackers.
He’s quickly learnt the closer he is to goal the more chance he has of making something happen. Sticking to the touchline does himself or his team no favor’s.
Sancho has proven himself to be one of the most damaging wide forwards in the world. He shares similarities with both Salah and Mané, which could mean he eventually replaces either. On paper at least, he’s a dream signing for the Reds.
