Sancho following in Ronaldinho's footsteps having idolised Barcelona icon growing up

The teenage Borussia Dortmund forward has revealed that the Brazilian was his boyhood hero, with his own path to superstardom now being carved out

Jadon Sancho is fast becoming an inspirational figure in his own right at Borussia Dortmund, but the teenage forward has revealed to DAZN and Goal that he wanted to emulate Barcelona legend Ronaldinho growing up.

At 18 years of age, a precocious talent who took the brave decision to leave Manchester City for Germany in the summer of 2017 is carving out his own path to superstardom.

He is chasing down Bundesliga title glory with Dortmund, is already a senior England international and will be back in Champions League action on Wednesday when facing Tottenham at Wembley Stadium.
