Signing Sancho was like winning the lottery! - Matthaus full of praise for English star

The German legend says the Borussia Dortmund winger has proved an incredible bargain that will only look better with time

German legend Lothar Matthaus says that Borussia Dortmund's signing of Jadon Sancho was a major coup for both the club and the league, comparing Sacho's arrival to "winning the lottery".

Sancho has proven a revelation since breaking through with Dortmund's first team, providing seven goals and nine assists in 21 Bundesliga appearances this season for the league-leaders.

The 18-year-old winger's success earned him three caps in 2018, just one year after leaving Manchester City due to a lack of playing time.
