Jadon Sancho's Career Decline: From Promising Talent to Uncertain Future

When Jadon Sancho was first called up to the England national team in October 2018, Gareth Southgate said, ‘Jadon’s story is unusual for a young English player. He was brave enough to go abroad and play every week in front of big crowds for a big club. He has the psychological strength to handle it and perform. The decision to go there says a lot about his character and that’s what you can see in his performances. He has a huge amount of belief in himself.’

Indeed, when Sancho left Manchester City for Borussia Dortmund just over a year ago at the age of 17, he took a big gamble. He quickly adapted to life in Germany. Because of this, many began to see him as the best player of the next generation.
