'Perfect player' Sancho set to make Dortmund a lot of money - Matthuas

The former Manchester City academy graduate has enjoyed a rapid rise to prominence and is expected to make a high-profile switch in the future

Jadon Sancho has been hailed as “a perfect player” by Lothar Matthuas, with a £7 million ($9m) bargain expected to make Borussia Dortmund a sizeable profit in the transfer market.

The exciting 18-year-old forward has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the last 18 months, with the decision to leave Manchester City in the summer of 2017 proving to be some springboard.

A switch to Germany was considered to be a brave leap into the unknown for a youngster who saw his route to first-team football blocked at the Etihad Stadium.
