Jadon Sancho

Location: Dortmund, Germany


That kitchen looks a better match to a Masterchef than a 19-year-old football player. Does he cook though? It could land him a few ladies; if they decide to overlook the fact that his pants are on show most of the time.

The typical victim of the English press's handiwork usually looks like our winger here- A promising talent that didn't live up to the expectation. Don't get us wrong. We always acknowledge the talent, and this London boy from the southeast part of the city is a generational one, and there's no denying that. But, he needs to be careful with how he handles the pressure that comes with being an English player that has the spotlight on him at all times. And being one of England's youngest exports to mainland Europe means that the pressure is only going to increase exponentially. Coming from a not so affluent part of London, football has always been a saving grace for this lad. He played in the streets where ballgames were banned- our boy is a bit of a renegade, moved to Watford's academy and stayed with them, so he could complete both football and school. This was followed by a move to Manchester City's academy, where he was promised to be included in the first team. That promise was broken which led the rocket to depart English football and land in Germany of all places. This move could not have come at a better time because the German way of playing will inculcate the discipline that is always missing from young players these days. He needs to stay in Germany for a while before he decides to move again.
