Chelsea 'cool interest in Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho'

A report claims that Chelsea have been put off signing rumoured Liverpool and Manchester United target Jadon Sancho by Borussia Dortmund's £120m asking price.

Chelsea have reportedly cooled their interest in Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho and have instead turned their attention elsewhere.

The Blues were at one point considered the favourites to land the England international, who has also been touted as a target for Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Liverpool.

Football.London claims that Frank Lampard's side have been put off from making a bid by Dortmund's huge asking price, however, which is believed to be in the region of £120m.

The same report indicates that interest from elsewhere may also be dwindling, with Sancho - who has a combined 33 goals and assists in the Bundesliga this term - possibly set for another season in Germany.

Chelsea have already splashed out £33m to bring in Hakim Ziyech from Ajax ahead of next season and are on the verge of completing the £53m signing of RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner.

Meanwhile, England boss Gareth Southgate has insisted that he will be happy wherever Sancho ends up at the end of the summer transfer window.
