Tottenham Hotspur striker Fernando Llorente seems to rate former Manchester City prospect Jadon Sancho highly.
Sancho was in action for Dortmund during their Champions League game against Tottenham at Wembley Stadium in London on Wednesday evening.
The 18-year-old winger started the game and played for 88 minutes, and Spurs striker Llorente was impressed with the shift put in by the England international during the first leg of the last-16 tie.
AS quoted Llorente as saying about Sancho: “I’ve been very impressed by him – he’s a player with incredible qualities.”
Stats
Although Tottenham won the match 3-0, Sancho’s performance was encouraging, and the former Manchester City prospect did do well in the first half.
According to WhoScored, the winger had a pass accuracy of 81.4%, attempted three dribbles, played one key pass, and put in one cross.
So far this season, Sancho has made 14 starts and seven substitute appearances in the Bundesliga for Dortmund, scoring seven goals and providing nine assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
Linked with Tottenham Hotspur
Sancho was linked with a move to Tottenham before he left City for Dortmund in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £8 million.
In August 2017, ESPN reported that the English teenager wanted to join Spurs, but the North London outfit decided against signing him.
