Report: Spurs register interest in ‘top drawer’ Manchester United player

Tottenham Hotspur have now registered their interest in securing the signing of Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho.

Manchester United could offload winger Jadon Sancho this summer and Tottenham Hotspur have made their interest known.

That is according to The Times, who claim that Tottenham have ‘registered an interest’ in signing Sancho this summer.

This comes after the Daily Star reported over the weekend that Tottenham were thinking about a move for Sancho.

Spurs now appear to have communicated their interest, whether that’s directly to United or his representatives.

United splashed the cash to sign Sancho for a huge £73million fee in 2021, having chased him for a long, long time.

The expectations were very high; Sancho had racked up 50 goals and a ridiculous 64 assists in 137 games for Borussia Dortmund.

Sancho hasn’t come close to replicating that kind of form though, managing just 12 goals and six assists in 79 appearances.

United haven’t had the return on their investment and with Alejandro Garnacho emerging, they could be tempted to cash in.

Tottenham could finally land Jadon Sancho

Some Tottenham fans may remember Spurs trying to sign Sancho during his Manchester City days.

The Mirror reported in 2017 that Tottenham were hoping to win the race to sign Sancho.

It was claimed that Spurs asked for City to put Sancho into the deal for Kyle Walker.

Walker ended up leaving for around £50million with City refusing to send Sancho to Tottenham, instead allowing him to join Borussia Dortmund.

Most of Tottenham’s key decision-makers from that era have moved on now, such as Steve Hitchen and Mauricio Pochettino.

Sancho, praised as ‘top drawer’ by Ian Wright just last month, hails from Camberwell in South London and a return to the capital may well appeal.

You could hardly blame Sancho for fancying working under Ange Postecoglou either; wingers Jota and Liel Abada thrived in Postegolou’s approach.

A move may add up for all parties but money will be the sticking point in terms of both fees and wages.
