Lucien Favre: Jadon Sancho not "focused and ready" amid transfer speculation

Borussia Dortmund manager Lucien Favre claims that Jadon Sancho is not "focused and ready" amid speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League next summer.

Borussia Dortmund manager Lucien Favre has claimed that Jadon Sancho is not "focused and ready" amid speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League next summer.

The player was removed before half time during Dortmund's 4-0 defeat to Bayern earlier this month, with Favre publicly criticising him after the game.

Reports have claimed that Sancho feels scapegoated by his manager and will, in turn, consider a move elsewhere in the summer transfer window.

When asked about why Sancho was left on the bench against Barcelona, Favre told Sky Sports News: "We need players on the pitch who are focused and ready."

The 19-year-old was introduced after half time during the 3-1 defeat at Barcelona and scored an excellent late goal that would have served as a message to Favre.

Sancho, valued at around £100m, has been heavily linked with a transfer to Manchester United next summer.
