   Written by Dickson preye

   Jadon Malik Sancho born on the 25th of march 2000 is an English professional footballer playing as a winger for Bundesliga club(Borussia Dortmund) and the England Nationa Team. Born in Campbell, Sancho progressed through the youth ranks of Manchester City F.C and was widely acknowledged by his teammates and coaches as a player of ernomous potential and talent which were very easy to notice. Bursting down the field with his monstrous pace, bamboozling opponents with his insane dribbling and creating chances for teammates with his exceptional playmaking abilities, Sancho had all the tools required to become an exceptional winger. However last summer he decided to complete a transfer from Machester City to Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund(for 7 million Euros) in search of regular first team opportunities. He knew that with exceptional wingers like Raheem Sterling,Leroy Sane,Riyad mahrez,Bernado silva and others present in the squad his chances of pinning down a regular starting spot were slim and in order not to stall his career development he needed a new challenge.

  Fastforward to a Sancho is now nicknamed the “king of Assists”.He sits on top of the assist table table in Europe’s big five leagues. He is now a fan favourite at his new club due to his pace, dribbling,playmaking abilities and also due to the fact that whenever he has the ball, he gets the fans to the edge of their seat.Last week’s call up to the England senior squad was a dream come true for him. He has been hailed for leaving the familiar surroundings of Manchester, family and friends to further develop his career overseas and is now being used as an example to young English players across the country thatstruggling to break into the star studded first team of their various clubs. His display against Croatia proved doubters wrong especially those pointing to his young age and inexperience and he almost marked it with an assist.There is an air of optimism around Jadon Sancho and other English youngsters as they try to fight their way into recognition and with Sancho leading the charge,he is seen as “the shining light”of the next generation of english footballers.
