Emre Can urges Jadon Sancho to stay at Borussia Dortmund amid Premier League links

Emre Can tells Jadon Sancho to reject interest from England.
Emre Can has urged Jadon Sancho to remain at Borussia Dortmund amid continuous speculation linking the youngster with a move to the English Premier League.

Asked what he would tell Sancho if the 20-year-old asked for advice over whether to move to England, Can told Sport Bild:

"I'd tell him to stay here, so we can play together forever. There aren't many players with the class that he has. I noticed that pretty quickly. He's enormously important for us."

Sancho has been linked with a move to Manchester United in particular, but Can can't see why his teammate should leave BVB for a move to Old Trafford.

"I see no reason to put United above Dortmund. Neither from a sporting perspective nor in terms of attractiveness," the former Liverpool midfielder said.

Sancho's contract with BVB expires in 2022.
