A summer move away from Borussia Dortmund for Jadon Sancho is looking increasingly likely with every passing day.
Returning late from the last international break saw the young winger dropped and fined by his club for a game with Borussia Monchengladbach, and he was then hauled off after 36 minutes against Bayern Munich after putting in a poor display.
Ever since that episode speculation has continued to mount over the England star’s future.
He is said to be seriously considering his future in Dortmund and it’s set to spark a Premier League bidding war between England’s top clubs.
Manchester United have been long-term admirers while Chelsea and Liverpool have recently come to the fore with their interest.
However, other reports have suggested he may be on his way to LaLiga with Spanish giants Real Madrid keen to bring him to the Bernabeu.
Landing Sancho could, though, cost around £100m to secure his services, but with his form showing no signs of slowing he wouldn’t be short of any takers.
But which club would he fit in best? talkSPORT.com has identified all the clubs interested in the teenager and assessed whether he would work in their system.
Sancho would fit in nicely at Manchester United, completing an explosive front three with Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.
The three of them would cause trouble for any opposition defence with their directness and pace.
Furthermore, each of them has the ability to play on either wing or through the middle, so Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could use them interchangeably depending on who they are facing.
Sancho would have to compete with Daniel James to get into the line-up, but some healthy competition in Solskjaer’s ranks would not hurt the Red Devils given their lack of options in attack at the moment.
Frank Lampard has an abundance of attacking options at his disposal and the addition of Sancho would only make his squad stronger.
Willian has been superb so far this season, with his work rate and determination to press particularly impressive.
However, the Brazilian would find himself displaced in the line-up fairly quickly if Sancho arrived at Stamford Bridge given the talent of the teenager.
Willian is 31 and his form will dip sooner rather than later, while Callum Hudson-Odoi is also waiting in the wings for his chance to cement a starting spot.
Christian Pulisic has come into his own in recent weeks with five goals in three games and he looks to have cemented a starting spot in the XI.
A fresh faced front three of Pulisic, Tammy Abraham and Sancho, with Hudson-Odoi as back up, will surely sort Chelsea’s attack out for years to come.

Jurgen Klopp’s side already boast one of the best attacks in Europe but they would get even stronger with Sancho in the XI.
In the last three years, Klopp has deployed Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane on the flanks with Roberto Firmino the essential link between the two wingers.
Usually a midfield three is deployed behind the attack that gives them the liberty to break away with pace.
However, the system would have to change if Sancho was bought, with Klopp having to revert to a midfield two.
Instead of having a midfielder who can burst forward – which Georginio Wijnaldum does in the current XI – there would need to be two holding midfielders in this line-up.
Firmino would play in the No.10 role, while Fabinho and Jordan Henderson would make up the anchor of the midfield, cleaning up any opposition breakaways.
Salah, who sometimes leads the line for the Reds, would be the main man up top, while Sancho would occupy his usual spot on the right flank.
There are effectively three wingers in the team who can float about in most positions in attack, and this line-up would cause nightmares for any team in Europe.
Zinedine Zidane would have the tricky situation of having three brilliant young wingers at his disposal if Sancho arrived, but it’s not a bad problem to have.
Brazilian wingers Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior are already at the club with the former having a superb start to his Real career, recently scoring a Champions League hat-trick to announce himself as the real deal in Europe’s top competition, while the latter is a little more raw.
Sancho has the talent to get into the team as his brilliant record in Germany shows but Rodrygo would certainly been on his heels.
The youngster could relish the opportunity to play alongside Eden Hazard and Karim Benzema in a front three which would surely bring back the best of the the 13-time European champions.
