Chelsea 'join Man Utd, Liverpool in Jadon Sancho race'

Chelsea reportedly join Liverpool and Manchester United in the race to sign Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho in the summer transfer window.

Chelsea have reportedly joined Manchester United and Liverpool in the race to sign Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho.

A proposed move to Old Trafford for the 20-year-old dominated the talk of the summer transfer window, but United could not agree a fee with Dortmund and he remained at the Westfalenstadion.

Sancho has since failed to hit the same heights as last season and is yet to find the back of the net in the current Bundesliga campaign, but the England international is still being linked with a move to a title-chasing Premier League side.

Liverpool are said to be keeping a close eye on developments surrounding Sancho's future, but according to the Que Golazo podcast, Chelsea are ready to do battle with their Premier League rivals for his signature.

Dortmund have supposedly accepted that the former Manchester City man will eventually seek pastures new, and an intense battle for his services will commence in the summer with the Bundesliga side not willing to sanction a January exit.

Sancho's current deal at the Westfalenstadion will expire in 2023, and the attacker's only goals this season have come in the Champions League and DFB-Pokal.
