Jadon Sancho has revealed how a warning to 'fix your attitude' from Watford as a youth player was the 'wake-up call' that kickstarted his journey to becoming one of world football's best young players.

The Borussia Dortmund winger has thrived since moving to Germany from Manchester City as a 17-year-old in 2017, having come through the ranks at Watford before moving up north.

Sancho was scouted as a nine-year-old by the Hornets when he was spotted playing in Kennington, south London, and has gone on to enjoy huge success in his young career.
