Arteta can repeat Havertz and Odegaard Arsenal masterstroke with bargain Jadon Sancho transfer

As the Champions League semi final between PSG and Borussia Dortmund drew to a close, there was one player on everybody's lips — Jadon Sancho.

The England international looked every bit the £73million player who arrived at Manchester Untied in 2021 as he outshone Kylian Mbappe on the biggest stage. It's thrilling to see that 24-year-old back at his best, and the performance has even led to questions as to whether he has a chance of making a late surge to be in Gareth Southgate's England squad for the Euros. Beyond that though, things remain uncertain.

«I really don't know,» he said when asked by CBS Sports where he'll be playing his football next season. «I'm focused on the present right now.»

As things stand he'll be returning to Manchester and even though Erik ten Hag seems less likely by the day to be in the Old Trafford dugout next season, it's still unclear whether Sancho will be wanted next season. United are in a position where they need to sell players to comply with Profit and Sustainability rules, and it's hard to currently see Sancho staying as things stand.

With his performances in Germany in the second half of this season, this will likely start a scramble of clubs looking to secure the signature of a player who was viewed as the best young talent in world football just a few years ago. Dortmund are likely to be the frontrunners, but should Arsenal be in mix too?
