Jadon Sancho was once against enjoying limelight last weekend after an impressive performance guiding Borussia Dortmund past Bayern Munich in one of the best Der Klassiker of recent times. Sancho is having an impressive year with Borussia, Sancho left Manchester City to join Dortmund for £10 million in August 2017. The English youngster walked away from Manchester City in search of regular first-team football with Pep Guardiola claiming that Jadon had agreed to sign contract extension at The Etihad.
Jadon Sancho is in fact one of Europe’s most in form player, scoring 5 goals and registering 8 assists for Dortmund.
His form led to him breaking into Gareth Southgate’s England squad, making his England debut in a goalless draw against Croatia on 12 October. Sancho came on for Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling on 78 minutes to mark, what is expected to be a long and successful career for the Three Lions.

Jadon Sancho has vividly fit in under Lucien Favre’s system at Borussia Dortmund. He already has seduced Germany with his charisma, dribbling, energy, vision, and finishing skills at such an early age and it feels like the Englishman possess a flair to go on and become ‘The Next Big Thing’.
The move beyond the City situated on the banks of Irwell was a brave one and it definitely has paid back dividends to the young man. With success of Sancho, we have also seen his best friend trading English comforts for making a name for himself – Yes, we are talking about Reiss Nelson – who is now on loan at Hoffenheim from Arsenal.
Talking about Reiss Nelson, he is regarded as one of the upcoming wonder-kids of the modern era and Hoffenheim are enjoying services of another talented Arsenal product after success of former Gunner (now at Bayern Munich) Serge Gnabry last season.
Reiss had a strong pre-season under Unai Emery but had to seek a temporary move elsewhere to get some regular minutes under his belt. Perhaps, Reiss has done something more than minutes – he has made an instant impact to his life in Germany by scoring six goals in eleven league games and showing everyone ‘What he is capable off’.

In fact, his recent bouts has got everyone talking about potential call-up to Southgate’s England squad. Though you cannot ignore the fact that Nelson has looked effective coming-on from the bench rather than when he was nodded to start. Despite all the headlines, Nagelsmann remains optimistic about his development in the long run.
‘It’s about growing in a healthy way,’ said Nagelsmann before last week’s Champions League clash with Lyon.
‘It’s a bit like being a musician. One song can keep food on the table for a few weeks, but it’s not about being a one hit wonder, it’s about putting in good performances over a long period of time, ideally over 15 years.’
Hoffenheim supporters know that they ain’t gonna reap the rewards from the way Nelson turns out, though that has not stopped them from growing fond of him and at the same time for Nagelsmann to protect him and make sure he develops.
Nagelsmann has started a process and Arsenal supporters are certainly going to enjoy, ‘The Man Nelson will be when he comes back’.
Talking about Reiss Neson and his long-term future at Arsenal, the Gunners are also linked with a move for Jadon Sancho on the papers. It would be a pretty deadly attack with Nelson on one side and Sancho on another; Though its highly unlikely to take anything concrete out of it.
But, If you have a choice – WHO WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE: Jadon Sancho or Reiss Nelson?
