Chelsea Remain ‘Top Candidates’ For £122m Rated Bundesliga Ace

Chelsea remain in the race for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho, according to BILD. The German tabloid claims the Blues are “top candidates” for the 19-year-old, along with Manchester United and Liverpool.

The Blues’ capture of Hakim Ziyech from Ajax looked to have ruled out the London club from making a move for the England international in the summer, but it seems Frank Lampard’s side are still firmly in the frame.

Sancho has been in fantastic form for Dortmund this campaign, having already scored 17 goals and provided 18 assists in 33 appearances for the Bundesliga club. BILD believe his excellent performances have pushed his asking price up to €140m (£122m), and it could rise even further in the coming months.

Whether such a figure would deter Chelsea from making a bid, we shall have to wait and see. Willian’s potential departure from Stamford Bridge may, though, force the Blues into looking for another winger. The Brazilian has raised doubts about signing a new contract in recent days.
