Tottenham Hotspur reportedly turned down the chance to sign Jadon Sancho in 2017, and following his beginning to the current campaign and the latest transfer reports, they will surely be regretting that decision.
ESPN reported last summer that the talented teenager was desperate to link up with Mauricio Pochettino at the north London outfit having decided to leave Manchester City, but that Spurs vetoed any move.
The 18-year-old ended up joining Borussia Dortmund instead just days later prior to the transfer window slamming shut, and following an impressive debut campaign for the Bundesliga giants he has really made his mark this term.
Nine assists and one goal in 10 appearances in all competitions for the German side has not only seen him get his first call-up to the senior England squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations’ League fixtures against Croatia and Spain, but he is also reportedly a transfer target for a number of Premier League clubs.

The Mirror report that Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are all keen to bring the potential new Three Lions ace back to England, but that Dortmund see him going on to be a £100m superstar – and that perhaps could be the price it takes to prise him away anytime soon.
We asked Spurs fans to vote on our poll to see whether they thought their club should have signed Sancho in 2017, and unsurprisingly 81% of those said they should have snapped him up – as you can see from the results below.
