'Sancho can become England's Neymar' - Borussia Dortmund star backed by former coach

Jadon Sancho has been backed to become a “Neymar-type player” for England by Dan Micciche, a coach who helped to put the Borussia Dortmund star on the road to senior stardom.

At just 18 years of age, the highly-rated forward has already displayed commendable ambition and no little ability.

Having come through the ranks at Watford, the youngster then opted to leave a famed academy system at Manchester City and head for Germany in the summer of 2017.

Sancho is now an established part of the first team set-up at Dortmund and an U17 World Cup winner with his country.
