Liverpool are now being considered as ‘favourites’ for the signature of young England international Jadon Sancho, after Jan Aage Fjortoft made the claim on Twitter.
The pro-turned-pundit claims that a ‘good source’ in Germany has told him that it’s most likely that Sancho will end up at Anfield.
The full Tweet can be read below:
From a very good source in Germany:
Klopp and Liverpool favorite to get Dortmund-player Sancho.
Sancho wants to leave the club already in January

He then goes on to give some reasons as to why Sancho will be on the move, and why it’s likely it’ll be to Liverpool. You can read that here too:
Re: Liverpool favorite to get Sancho
– player has no clause in his contract
– Dortmund got 90 million pounds when they sold Dembélé to Barcelona
– want more for Sancho
– sources say 130 million pounds https://t.co/xtKEFfluw7— Jan Aage Fjørtoft 🏳️🌈 🇳🇴 💛💙 (@JanAageFjortoft) December 2, 2019
Sancho could cost potential suitors around £100million up to the £130million Fjortoft claims – and with Liverpool and Manchester United being two of the clubs interested, as per the Daily Mail, Dortmund will be sure to get what he’s worth.
I’d suggest clubs to not be so hasty though – the winger is showing a lot of promise, and really looks to be a talent, but there’s no way to know if the teenager will go on the become a star or the next Aaron Lennon.
It’s hard to tell if this rumour is even routed in truth, as it seems quite unlikely that Jurgen Klopp would be considering plashing over £100million on an – albeit exciting – unproven talent.
