Jadon Malik Sancho (born 25 March 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Chelsea, on loan from Manchester United.

Jadon Malik Sancho[3] was born on 25 March 2000[4] in Camberwell, Greater London,[5] to a mother from Trinidad and Tobago and father of Jamaican and Guyanese descent.

[15] At the age of 14, he moved to Manchester City in March 2015 for an initial fee of £66,000 under the Elite Player Performance Plan, potentially rising to £500,000 with add ons.

[22][23] Sancho signed for German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund on 31 August 2017 for a fee reported to be in the region of £8 million and was immediately included in the first-team squad.

[24][25] He later stated that he felt confident in making the move abroad due to his previous experiences in relocating with Watford and Manchester City.

[28] Having signed a new contract keeping him at the club until 2022,[29] Sancho enjoyed a successful October 2018 by being named Bundesliga Player of the Month, registering three goals and an assist in just three league games.

[32] During a 3–3 draw with TSG Hoffenheim on 9 February 2019, he became the youngest-ever player to score eight goals in a single Bundesliga season, breaking the record previously held by Christian Wück.

[36] Success continued ahead of the 2019–20 season, with Sancho providing an assist and scoring in a 2–0 DFL-Supercup victory over Bayern Munich on 3 August 2019.

[44][45] On 1 July 2021, it was announced that Manchester United and Dortmund had reached an agreement for Sancho's transfer, subject to him signing a contract and passing a medical, both of which were expected to happen after UEFA Euro 2020.

[47] On 14 August, he made his debut as a substitute for Daniel James in a 5–1 home league win over rivals Leeds United.

[49] Five days later, he scored his first Premier League goal against Chelsea after Jorginho miscontrolled a long clearance from Bruno Fernandes, allowing Sancho to take advantage of a two-on-one with Édouard Mendy.

In response, Sancho wrote on social media that "I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself very well in training this week...

[64] On 1 June, he started in the 2024 UEFA Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium, playing 87 minutes as they lost 2–0 to Real Madrid.

[65] Following his loan to Dortmund, Sancho returned to training with Manchester United following a meeting with Ten Hag, in which they reportedly drew a line under their disagreement.

[70] Sancho made his debut for Chelsea as a half-time substitute for Pedro Neto in a Premier League match against Bournemouth on 14 September.

[80] The two parties eventually reached an agreement where he would be available for the group stages of the competition, but his participation was not guaranteed if England progressed to the knock out rounds.

[83][9][8] On 2 November 2017, Sancho was called up to the England U19 squad for the first time, joining them for 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification matches against the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Group 8's host-nation team Bulgaria.

[88] Following an impressive start to the 2018–19 season, Sancho was called up to the England senior squad for the first time on 4 October 2018 in preparation for UEFA Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain.
