Borussia Dortmund are reportedly considering a move for Manchester City youngster Jayden Braaf.

The 18-year-old, who is deemed to be the next Jadon Sancho, is highly regarded at the Etihad Stadium and is considered as one of the academy's brightest prospects.

Bild reports that there is a mutual feeling between both the club and the player that Braaf would be willing to move away from City in January as he seeks senior football.

Dortmund are 'very interested' in signing the winger and have monitored his progression for 'some time', however the German club are yet to make any formal offer for Braaf.

Manchester City are expected to demand a fee between £8m and £10m plus a buy-back clause in any deal agreed, as they did for former academy graduate Sancho, who made the same move over three seasons ago.

City handed the youngster an opportunity to train with the first team just eight months ago but a breakdown in communications between coaches and the player ultimately led to the winger returning to the academy side and seeking an exit from the club.
