Given Jadon Sancho‘s remarkable career to date despite only being 20 years old, links with a summer switch to Liverpool may have led to many Kopites imploring the club to sign the talented England international.
Instead, perhaps in light of recent events, reports from Germany suggesting that Sancho could swap Borussia Dortmund for the Reds have been met with an assortment of grievances from various Liverpool supporters.
The winger was sublime last season, with a combined 40 goals and assists, and would enhance Jurgen Klopp’s attacking options if he came to Anfield, even affording the German an embarrassment of riches on the right wing to compete with Mohamed Salah.
However, with Dortmund demanding an eye-watering sum for Sancho, who will likely fetch in the region of £90m when sold, plenty of Liverpool fans have almost unequivocally dismissed the potential for a deal.
A lot of speculation appears to point toward Sancho's departure come the season end. Should Liverpool do everything they can to bring him to Anfield? 🧐🔁 #LFC https://t.co/lvKRVuAjfR
