Liverpool backed to beat Man Utd to Jadon Sancho transfer as star seeks January move

“Sancho wants to leave the club already in January.”

Talking of Sancho back in July after Liverpool took on Dortmund in a pre-season friendly, Klopp lavished the youngster with praise.

He said: “An exceptional talent. But he’s not the only one in England at the moment.

“That age group has a few, we have Rhian Brewster who is the same age, Raheem Sterling for example I don’t want to forget any wingers because there are a lot of talents.

“There’s a lot of very young, promising players in England so there’s no doubt about the potential of Jadon Sancho.

“His speed and body control in high speed is his main strength. Being good in big spaces and in small spaces makes you a pretty interesting player and that’s what Jadon is for sure.

“But especially for his game tonight, he defended against our 18-year-old Yasser [Larouci], who played against one of the biggest talents in world football and did pretty well the whole night.

“So no doubt about Jadon Sancho.”
