'Incredible' Sancho plays crucial role at Dortmund - Favre

The teenage sensation has been one of his side's most productive stars and the coach is delighted to have him alongside Marco Reus and Paco Alcacer

Lucien Favre has been impressed by Jadon Sancho's dribbling skills and says he has taken on a "crucial role at a very young age" at Borussia Dortmund.

The 18-year-old is one of Dortmund's top players this season and has emerged as one of England's most promising stars since he joined the German side from Manchester City in 2017.

Sancho has scored six goals and set up seven more in his last 17 Bundesliga appearances as Favre's team sit top of the table, six points ahead of reigning champions Bayern Munich.
