What a breakout season it's been for the young right midfielder. Late last season, saw Sancho show glimpses of what promised to be a very skilled footballer. But very few would have predicted his breakout 2018-19 season! He's already disposed of Chelsea's new signing Christian Pulisic from the starting eleven, and in the process, made the right midfielder position his own.

With 7 goals and 9 assists to his name, Sancho has been crucial to Borrusia Dortmund's Bundesliga title challenge. In the Champions League, he's added a further goal and assist from five appearances. His bravery to play in a foreign country, which not many Englishman dare take, shows Sancho's ambitions of becoming a top star in the game. Had it not been for his transfer last season, he still be sitting in Manchester City's bench playing with the reserves.

Jadon Sancho posses great skill and speed, with a further eye for assists. His 1.9 passes per game (whoscored) highlight Sancho's unselfishness. Having seen Christian Pulisic transfer to Chelsea for a reported $58 million, it be no surprise to see top clubs shell out $100 million for Sancho.
