#12 Jadon Sancho
Age: 17
Club: Borussia Dortmund
Position: Forward
Nationality: English
English players do not guarantee much success when they play outside the Premier League. But, Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho is intent on proving it wrong.
Sancho joined the German outfit after quitting Manchester City due to lack of playing time. He made his Dortmund debut in October 2017.
Though he was withdrawn by Dortmund in the middle of the Fifa U17 World Cup, Sancho was one of the stand-out performers for his country in the group stages. He won the UEFA European Under-17 Championship Golden Player award in May.
Sancho follows the tradition of inverted wingers, marauding on the left wing albeit being a right-footed player. He has been endowed with top-notch dribbling skills that allow him to beat defenders easily. The 17-year-old likes cutting inside and creating chances rather than going for a usual cross.
England have had unsatisfying years for a long time. But, Sancho and other youngsters represent a glimmering hope of bringing a golden age for their nation in the sport.
