Sancho signs new Dortmund deal to 2022 & earns comparison to €105m Barcelona star Dembele

Borussia Dortmund have rewarded Jadon Sancho's bright performances with a new contract after sporting director Michael Zorc compared the teenage winger to Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele.

The 18-year-old Englishman is making quite a name for himself in Germany after his move to the Bundesliga in 2017, encouraging Dortmund to tie him to a deal that lasts until 2022.

With no senior experience of which to speak, the youngster was immediately handed the No.7 jersey at Dortmund vacated by Dembele.

The France international had just completed a €105 million (£93m/$121m) move to Camp Nou and somebody was required to fill his boots.
