Jadon Sancho

There no question who the best bargain buy has been for Borussia Dortmund in the club’s recent history. Jadon Sancho has been on absolute fire since joining from Manchester City for roughly 8 million euros in 2017. Sancho didn’t see himself getting game time under Pep Guardiola at City and decided that the best solution for his career would be to move to the Bundesliga.

In his debut season, the England international started with the Dortmund U23s but quickly graduated to the first team. Borussia Dortmund were in turmoil at times but Sancho proved to be a bright spark every time he played. After the arrival of Lucien Favre, the winger enjoyed a remarkable season and catapulted himself into the discussion of the best young players in the world.

With 12 goals and 14 assists in the Bundesliga alone, Sancho became one of the most sought after talents in football. His current value is well over 100 million Euros and it will only rise further if he continues to progress this season. He won his first trophy with the club earlier this month, scoring and assisting in the 2-0 DFL Supercup win over Bayern.
