Jadon Sancho: Mario Gotze thinks I have a great future at Dortmund

Jadon Sancho: Mario Gotze thinks I have a great future at Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho has revealed how his club’s biggest stars helped him adjust to life in Germany after swapping the Premier League for the Bundesliga in the summer. 

The U-17 World Cup winner left Manchester City for Dortmund in a £10m move.


Sancho, 17, says that players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mario Gotze have put him at ease since arriving at the club.



Aubameyang left Dortmund for Arsenal in January. However, he still made an impact on the 17-year-old before he left. Speaking about Aubameyang, Sancho told the Mirror: “He used to help me after training. We used to play competitions where whoever scored the least goals had to clean boots. It was just banter really. He’s a nice person.” NaijaBet.com

On Gotze, he said: “He has spoken to me a lot. He thinks I’m a really good player, wants me to do well and express myself because he wants me to stay in the team.”

“I just want to show other young kids growing up that it is not about just staying in England, getting loans. Explore. If you want to play you have to do what you’ve got to do. Make sacrifices,” said Sancho.

Sancho picked up an ankle injury in his side’s win against Cologne in February. Prior to that the young winger had made six appearances for Dortmund and was slowly making an impact, notching his first assist in a 1-1 draw against Hertha Berlin in January. NaijaBet.com
