Thomas Tuchel willing to hijack Premier League rival deal for talented youngster

Chelsea manager is reportedly ready to battle it out with Manchester United over the transfer of Borussia Dortmund forward Jadon Sancho.

Manchester United have always been the front runner in the race for Jadon Sancho who left Manchester City to make a name for himself in the Bundesliga.

The England international has captured the hearts of top European clubs with his performance week in, week out but none have been able to meet Dortmund’s colossal €120mil valuation.

Chelsea are now willing to sort out a deal for the youngster ahead of Manchester United.

The Coronavirus pandemic has struck Borussia Dortmund and the club will be willing to do business with clubs who are willing to pay the right price.

A move for Sancho would make a huge dent in that deficit and put an end to one of football’s longest running transfer sagas.

According to Sport, the England international will be available for around €105m and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovic is ready to back Thomas Tuchel in his quest to help the club.

The blues are ready to use Thomas Tuchel’s influence as a former manager of Borussia Dortmund to bring the player to London.

Sancho has eight goals in 25 appearances so far this term and has not shown signs of relenting on his laurels.
