Jadon Sancho is one of the most sought after young players in world football.

After leaving Watford to join Manchester City in 2015 he decided against signing a new contract at the Etihad Stadium to join Borussia Dortmund in January 2017.

He is now one of the stars of the Bundesliga and has just passed an incredible career landmark at the tender age of 19 having after scoring for his club against Slavia Prague in the Champions League.

Since making his senior debut in Germany almost three years ago, he has scored 23 goals and set up 27 assists across the Bundesliga and Champions League.

That adds up to 50 goals that Sancho has directly been involved in creating or finishing off in 70 games for Dortmund across the German topflight and Europe's top tier club competition.

Not that he was ready to settle for a clean 50. In the second half against Slavia Prague, the teenager found set up Julian Brandt to take his tally of goals and assists in the league and the Champions League up to 51 and put his team in front.

He has more to boast about when it comes to his record as a scorer and creator of goals with a record in domestic cups that stands at one goal and two assists in five appearances across the DFB-Pokal and German super cup.

The feat of passing the 50 mark for goals and assists in his club's two most important competitions should be music to the ears of fans who support Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United.

All three Premier League clubs linked with a move for the teenage England international.

football.london polled followers of the Blues over who were their most wanted transfer targets in 2020 and Sancho was named second only to Ben Chilwell, the Leicester City left-back that was the top pick to replace Marcos Alonso at Stamford Bridge.

It has been a busy year for the ex-City winger. After making his senior international debut under Gareth Southgate in 2018 he scored his first two goals for England in a 5-3 victory over Kosovo at St Mary's Stadium in Southampton.

His personal trophy haul already includes a winner's medal from the 2017 Under-17 World Cup and the German super cup.

Sancho has proven to be at his most dangerous when deployed down the right, and Chelsea fans would like to see him brought in as a long-term successor to Willian.

In January 2019, the Blues purchased Christian Pulisic from Dortmund. The American had previously enjoyed the status of being the Bundesliga club's break out star before Sancho began to overshadow him two seasons ago.

While a move for the Englishman would not be cheap, his signing would probably be a popular decision in the Chelsea dressing room.

Striker Tammy Abraham is already close friends with his former teammate as a youth international. Together they formed a formidable partnership with the Dortmund winger so often providing the ammunition for the Cobham academy graduate to punish defences and score.
