Perez eyes Jadon Sancho as Gareth Bale's replacement

Real Madrid are plotting a stunning move for Jadon Sancho according to reports in Don Balon. The Spanish publication claims that Florentino Perez is keen on signing the young Englishman as a long-term replacement for Gareth Bale.

Sancho has been on fire this season and has attracted interest from a lot of clubs around Europe. However, Manchester City are the ones leading the race for their former starlet.

Bale had a great start to the season but that faded away really quickly. He was missing in a lot of big games and Real Madrid suffered badly. The Welshman scored a hat-trick in the Club World Match but the president is keen on sealing the deal for Sacho as soon as possible.
