Arriving on the back of four fantastic seasons at Borussia Dortmund in Germany’s Bundesliga, Sancho joins the Reds as one of the world's most exciting young players; a 21-year-old mature beyond his years. His play is fearless, skilful and expressive and he thrives when isolating defenders and taking them on, one-on-one.
Born in London on 25 March 2000, Sancho grew up in Kennington, idolising Ronaldinho and playing cage football amid the capital's high-rise buildings. He joined Watford's youth set-up aged seven and moved into the club's partner school as a boarder four years later, thus avoiding the long travel time across from south London.
