'It would have been easier to stay in England' - Matondo relishing Schalke challenge

Schalke's new signing Rabbi Matondo is looking forward to playing in the Bundesliga after signing for the German club in January.

Matondo is looking to follow in the footsteps of former team-mate Jadon Sancho after completing his move from Manchester City.

City have reportedly inserted a buy-back clause in the Matondo deal, having seen Sancho linked with the likes of rivals Manchester United following his impressive impact at Borussia Dortmund.
