Jadon Sancho will play for Borussia Dortmund next season, according to the club’s sporting director, despite Manchester United’s interest in the winger

Michael Zorc told journalists at Dortmund’s training camp in Switzerland that Sancho would stay at Signal Iduna Park for the 2020-21 season and that decision was ‘final’.

Zorc also claimed that Sancho’s contract – previously believed to have two years left to run – was extended by a further year last summer until 2023.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg underwent a medical at Tottenham on Monday ahead of his proposed transfer from Southampton.

The Denmark international was at the club’s Hotspur Way training complex to undergo health checks, the PA news agency is reporting.

Hojbjerg is primed to join Spurs for a reported initial £15m, which could rise to £19m, with right-back Kyle Walker-Peters set to go the other way in a separate deal.

Hojbjerg was stripped of the captaincy at the south coast club after he informed them he would not be signing a new contract and spent much of the resumption of the 2019/20 campaign out of the side.

There was interest from Everton, but the midfielder was keen to work with Jose Mourinho at Spurs, who look to have got the deal done in an uncharacteristically swift manner.
