Arsenal are amongst a host of Premier League clubs keeping tabs on Borussia Dortmund ace Jadon Sancho, according to The Sun.
What’s the word?
After nine consecutive victories across all competitions, Unai Emery has put the wind back in Arsenal’s sails and has restored optimism around the North London club after two campaigns without Champions League football.
The Gunners have found their form in front of goal, scoring at least twice in 10 of their 11 games this season, but there is still room for improvement in the wide positions as Arsenal are yet to find an adequate replacement for Alexis Sanchez.
Head of Recruitment Sven Mislintat may have an ace up his sleeve though as The Sun suggests Arsenal are looking to raid Borussia Dortmund once again in 2019 as they are named amongst the Premier League sides interested in Jadon Sancho.
Could it happen?
After signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sokratis Papastathopoulos from Dortmund in the past two transfer windows, as well as landing a former player of the German side in Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Arsenal have very close ties with the Bundesliga outfit through Sven Mislintat.

While that provides encouragement for the aim to complete further deals with Dortmund in the coming years, signing Sancho would be almost impossible as the report adds he is valued at over £100m following his tremendous rise.
While that may be the case, it seems likely that the teenager could be prised away for a lower fee, and Mislintat may well hold the key to sorting that arrangement out.
