Borussia Dortmund were tracking Jadon Sancho long before they prised him away from Manchester City this summer.
The 17-year-old joined the German club in August after deciding it was best to continue his career away from the Etihad.
A host of top clubs in England were looking at the winger, including Arsenal and Tottenham.
However, Dortmund won the race for the England Under-17 international and their manager Peter Bosz has high hopes for the youngster.
"Well obviously he is a big talent, a lot of clubs want him," said Bosz.
