According to latest reports, Borussia Dortmund are in danger of losing the likes of Chelsea targets Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland if they don’t start winning trophies, warns Jan Aage Fjortoft.
Both Haaland and Sancho are regarded as two of the finest talents in the game right now and have been tipped to become two of the best players on the planet, as both have been impressing over at Dortmund.
It is no secret that Chelsea are massive fans of both players and would love to add them to the squad, and now they have been given a boost after Fjortoft claimed that Dortmund are in danger of losing the pair, He told ESPN: “Viv Anderson said to me, ‘but Jan, it’s quite easy, young kids want to win trophies – that’s why they’re in the game.’
“One day they will go away, meet each other now at international break and they will say ‘you’re a good team, you have good talent, how many trophies have you got?’
“I think that is the danger with Dortmund, now having the best Norwegian, the best American, the two best English, although Sancho is not at the moment unfortunately.
“That is the main challenge for Dortmund, how long can they keep these young kids without winning trophies and the culture needs to be built up. “It’s also typical that Bayern [have] got that culture at the moment because they have that winning mentality in there.”
He is right and these are two players that will want to win the biggest trophies and compete at the very top on a weekly basis, and if they cannot get that at Dortmund, they will seek a move.
Chelsea have just splashed alot of money already improving the attack, so although they may not need the pair now, surely they would be fools not to try and make a move if they both come onto that market?
