English teenager Jadon Sancho is living "a dream come true" by playing for Borussia Dortmund, the U20 World Cup winner has revealed.
Sancho, who is set to return from injury at the start of March, rejected the offer of a contract with English Premier League leaders Manchester City to join Dortmund last summer. City were bitterly disappointed to lose the teenage talent, but Sancho, who turns 18 next month, has had no reason to regret his move.
Six Bundesliga appearances - three of them starts -have given him a taste of life with one of Europe's biggest clubs, and the youngster cannot get enough.

"To play for the first team, in front of the yellow wall, is a dream come true," Sancho told BBC Sport, who relished the challenge of taking up the number seven shirt vacated by Ousmane Dembele.
"I would have taken any number but getting seven was a big boost to my confidence. It doesn't faze me. It is about coming here and proving myself. That is why I am here."
Sancho's determination to establish himself in Germany is clear. He is learning German studiously, and has his father living alongside him in a bid to allow him to concentrate as much as possible on his game.
