Borussia Dortmund are close to agreeing a deadline day deal for Manchester City starlet Jadon Sancho.

The Bundesliga side have been in talks with City and leapt to the front of the long queue to sign the England under-17 wonder-kid.

City are ready to admit defeat in their bid to keep Sancho and are now hoping to secure a huge eight-figure fee for the exciting winger.

Sancho, 17, has yet to make his City debut but underlined his reputation as one of Europe's best young talents by winning the Golden Ball at the summer's European Under-17 championships.

Sancho turned down City's offer of a £30,000-a-week new contract due to fears about his chances of first team football at the Etihad.

And he is ready to join the list of English youngsters to head abroad this summer after picking Dortmund as his next destination.

Sancho, who was directly involved in 10 of England's 15 goals at the Euros - scoring five and setting up five - to earn the best player award, was not short of options.

Spanish giants Real Madrid joined the hunt to sign him last week while Tottenham and Arsenal were both desperate to bring the former Watford youngster back to London.

RB Leipzig also provided rival interest in Germany but it is Dortmund who are poised to win the race for his signature and hand Sancho a three year deal.
