The Manchester City winger is want by Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur this summer, according to reports.
The Mirror reported yesterday that Arsenal and Tottenham are closely monitoring the 17-year-old’s situation, after he rejected a new three year deal at the Etihad, believed to be worth up to £30,000 per week.

Sancho believes that he is ready for first-team football, and considers the route into the starting XI at City to be too challenging at present, and wants a move away in the hope of receiving regular first-team action.
And ESPN report that Dortmund are confident of winning the race to sign the City teenager, by offering him a more direct route to the first-team, something that he would not receive so easily at either Tottenham or Arsenal.
Sancho is undoubtedly a wonderful talent, and Pep Guardiola will not want to lose someone with his skill-set and potential, but the Spaniard might be forced into losing the 17-year-old, with so much pressure on the here and now in the modern game.
It could very well be a decision that comes back to bite Guardiola and City somewhere down the line though, whether that be in the Premier League or European competition.
