'He takes the mickey out of people' - Sancho names Neymar as his favourite player

The 18-year-old made his England debut in October and says he wants to act as a role model to young players in the English game

Jadon Sancho has admitted his favourite player is Neymar despite the Brazilian's reputation for diving and gamesmanship.

The 18-year-old winger has enjoyed a remarkable start to the season with Borussia Dortmund, scoring six times and bagging five assists in just 14 Bundesliga appearances.

Sancho moved to Germany from Manchester City in 2017 in search of first team opportunities and the move has paid off as he has endeared himself to the Dortmund fans with his pace and dribbling ability.
