The Villa loanee, who signed for the club back in the summer has played a key role for Unai Emery’s men this season.

He has helped them into the last eight of the Europa League - as they also chase a return to the Champions League.

It has been rumoured that when his contract with Manchester United ends in the summer - he may well be set for a free transfer to Borussia Dortmund, where he has already had two spells.

And now the German club have broken their silence on the issue, with managing director Lars Ricken insisting they are looking at a number of players, including Sancho.

He told Sport Bild: “We’re currently looking at a lot of players and analysing them closely. We check whether they can make us better. We’re doing that with Jadon as well.

“Of course, we are looking for an offensive player who brings quality, can help us immediately, and doesn’t require an unrealistic transfer fee.”

Since joining Villa on deadline day back in the summer - Sancho has made 31 appearances and has scored one goal.
