Chelsea to rival Manchester United for Bundesliga sensation?

Chelsea will reportedly battle with the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid in the race to sign Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund next summer.

Sancho has been a revelation since moving to the Bundesliga from Manchester City two years ago and he has amassed 15 goals and 19 assists from just 42 league appearances.

United had failed with an approach to sign the England international last summer but it appears that they could face stiff competition in eight months' time with both Chelsea and Real Madrid holding an interest.

The Blues have fared impressively despite the year-long transfer ban but the club's hierarchy are not taking things for granted and they are expected to spend when the embargo concludes.

The left-back position remains a problematic position for the west London giants but Lampard is also said to be eyeing a world-class winger to compete with the likes of Christian Pulisic and Callum Hudson-Odoi in the long term.
