Arsenal and Tottenham ready to pounce for Man City starlet Jadon Sancho after Pep Guardiola left winger out of US tour
England U-17s starlet is highly-rated at Etihad but could be tempted to move south amid first-team football fears
ARSENAL and Tottenham are ready to pounce after England starlet Jadon Sancho was left out of Manchester City's pre-season tour.
The Three Lions Under-17 ace has been offered an improved contract at the Etihad after impressing for both club and country.
Both Pep Guardiola and chairman Khaldoon al Mubarak have hailed the youngster's potential in recent months.
And Pep had suggested he would take Sancho for the three-match tour of the US - along with fellow young aces Phil Foden and Brahim Diaz.
But Sancho was omitted earlier this week - much to the surprise of many people at City and there is now a question mark over his future.
Guardiola already has a number of attacking talents at his disposal and Sancho is understood to be struggling to see a route to the first team.
The Gunners and Spurs have been monitoring his situation in recent months and are keen to take him back south.
Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig have also expressed a concrete interest - but City will not let him leave without a fight.
