He has yet to master it.”Pulisic joined Chelsea in a 58million deal in January, but was loaned back to Dortmund for the rest of the season.He has struggled for game time throughout 2018/19 with Sancho preferred in attack in place of the US starlet.

Sancho has scored eight goals and registered 12 assists since August.His form has reportedly put the 100million-rated winger on Manchester United’s radar. However, Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc ruled out the possibility of Sancho following Pulisic out of the door this summer.He told German outlet Bild: “I’m far from putting a price tag on Jadon.“His transfer would be difficult even for the biggest clubs in the world at the moment. Jadon will play for Borussia Dortmund next season.”
