Manchester City's Jadon Sancho wants Tottenham move - sources

Manchester City starlet Jadon Sancho wants to join Tottenham, sources have told ESPN FC.

Sancho, 17, has one year remaining on his scholarship deal at City but he has decided to leave the club because he believes his route to the first team is blocked.

The prodigious winger, who was named as the Golden Player at the European Under-17 Championships this summer, was born in London and wants to return to the capital.

Both Spurs and Arsenal have made the teenager offers but he has opted for join Spurs because he believes he will have more chance of playing for their first-team soon, the sources said.

Although Sancho is free to sign for another club, he would not be able to play for them before the end of his scholarship deal without City's permission, and sources close to Spurs are not confident that they will release the teenager.

City would be due compensation, believed to be about £3-4 million, if Sancho signs elsewhere.

Sancho was surprisingly left out of City's preseason tour of the United States, where they played Spurs, while highly rated youngsters Phil Foden and Brahim Diaz were both included.

All three have trained with the first team but sources told ESPN FC that it was Pep Guardiola's decision to leave Sancho behind.

However, the club have high hopes for Sancho and had been hopeful that he would sign a new deal.

Manchester United and German clubs Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have also been monitoring Sancho's situation.

City might take the hard line to stop other youngsters doing this to them in the future. Although it could go the other way in which youngsters will reject them knowing City will hold them against their wishes.

Even if Sancho had already signed with us yesterday (as ITK suggested may be the case), I guess we would hold off on making any sort of official announcement until City release his registration. Nothing really to be gained for us in announcing early, and the potential to rile City and perhaps harden their stance if we were to do so.

Guys, let's wait and see. If he's a WUM it'll soon become apparent, not a great start I agree but we're on it so there's no need to fling abuse about.

Thats why i asked if he knew sancho, but my post was deleted. I hope hes wrong about arsenal, but imagine he was a lurker and knowing this info, hes made a account. You just never know

Whilst things can happen, and only JS knows what's really happening. What I heard from a very, very good connect, it was done. But after our experiences I am cautious in saying 'Done deal'.

How would this kid compare to say Pulisic at 17, who made a few appearances with Dortmund at 17 and then basically became a starter with them at 18? Just curious. Sounds like a great prospect and exactly what Spurs need (someone to take on defenders one on one from the wing with pace)

Different level.

Pulisic is your elite wonderkid, Sancho is a once in a century talent who aliens keep trying to abduct to take samples of.

Love yah Herc! FWIW Ali Z on COYS said 14 mins ago
hold up due to fee not player ...

Maybe that has now been resolved. Herc and Ali have been on different parts of the same info before but not necessarily contradictory.

Edit: dov also just posted this in itk thread.
